AC Milan Injury Update: Expected Return Dates for Key Players

AC Milan is currently facing an injury crisis with nine players sidelined. Here’s an overview of the situation and projected return dates for each player:

Rafael Leao sustained a muscle injury during Friday’s Serie A match against Hellas Verona. He will undergo further medical evaluation to determine his recovery timeline. Milan hopes he may be available for their next match against Roma on December 29.

Christian Pulisic is dealing with a calf issue. While the club is optimistic he could return against Roma, a more realistic target appears to be the January 3 Supercoppa semifinal versus Juventus.

Alvaro Morata missed the Verona game due to tonsillitis but is expected back for the Roma fixture.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek has a femoral bicep injury but could potentially return against Roma.

Ismael Bennacer has resumed group training and should be available for either the Roma or Juventus match.

Luka Jovic recently had surgery to address recurring groin problems. He may be fit to face Juventus on January 3.

Yunus Musah is unlikely to recover from his muscle injury in time for the Roma game.

Noah Okafor’s calf injury requires a longer recovery period. He is projected to return in late January.

Alessandro Florenzi is rehabilitating from a cruciate ligament injury with a targeted mid-February comeback.

Milan will be eager to have these key players back as soon as possible as they look to maintain their challenge in Serie A and cup competitions in the new year.
