The season may be over for Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Milan reported yesterday that the 41-year-old Swedish striker is suffering from an injury to his right calf which seriously jeopardizes his participation in the six Serie A games left for Milan to play, although the club showed in the statement it gave “some hope” that the Swedish striker could still play before the end of the season.
“Zlatan Ibrahimovic underwent tests that confirmed a right leg injury”, spoke with AC Milan, which did not specify the recovery time, indicating that “we must see the evolution of the situation”.
Ibra was injured on Sunday while warming up in the second half of Milan-Lecce in Serie A (2-0) before jumping onto the pitch.
This injury represents a new setback for Ibra in a season plagued by physical setbacks after undergoing surgery on his left knee in May 2022, just after winning the ‘scudetto’ with Milan.
142 minutes this season
Ibra did not feature again until February 26 and since then he has barely featured in 142 minutes spread over four games, one of them, the last, as a starter. On 18 March he became the oldest scorer in Serie A history by scoring a penalty against Udinese.
He has lost 73 games in Milan
Since he began his second spell with Milan in December 2019, injuries have forced Ibra to miss a total of 73 games for the ‘rossonero’ team in just three years. The test continues.
Unregistered in the Champions League, Ibra followed from the stands the great trajectory in the competition of a Milan that in the semifinals will face Inter, its eternal city rivals, in two exciting Madonnina derbies.
The renewal and Euro 2024, in the air
Ibra expressed his desire to play Euro 2024 with the Swedish team at the age of 42, although persistent muscular mishaps cast doubt on this possibility. His contract expires on June 30 but Neither Milan nor he has decided on his renewal.
