Milan’s Musacchio out for four months


AC Milan defender, Mateo Musacchio will miss the next four months of action after undergoing keyhole surgery to repair damage to his left knee.

Milan had confirmed last week that Musacchio would require an operation but did not offer a timeline on his return.

Now, it seems, Musacchio’s season is over, with Milan expected to prosecute the remainder of the 2019-20 Serie A campaign without the services of the 19-year-old Argentine defender.
“AC Milan announces that Mateo Musacchio has undergone keyhole surgery to his left ankle, performed by Prof. Ramon Cugat, with Club doctor, Dr Lucio Genesio, in attendance,” a club statement read.
“The surgeon pronounced himself satisfied with the operation. The estimated recovery time is four months, barring any complications.”

Musacchio has made 18 top-flight appearances this term. Milan returned to top-flight action following the league’s three-month coronavirus-enforced break with a 4-1 rout of Lecce and are now seventh in the table. They face fifth-place Roma at San Siro on Sunday.
