An impossible mission awaits Milan next Tuesday. If the very difficult 0-2 conceded the previous day against Inter in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals already represents a very difficult obstacle to overcome, yesterday the ‘rossonero’ club confirmed a serious defeat that they have to face in their attempt to overcome the qualifying round for the final on June 10 in Istanbul.
Substituted in the 18th minute of Wednesday’s game after sustaining a knock, the season is over for Ismaël Bennacer. The Algerian midfielder, an important part in the scheme of Stefano Piolihas sustained an injury to his right knee that will require him to undergo surgery in the next few hours.
“The tests Bennacer underwent this morning revealed a cartilage lesion of the lateral femoral condyle of the right knee“, announced Milan today.
Benacer will need to undergo an arthroscopy and, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the vacation period is set between three and four months, so it cannot be recovered for the start of the next season.
Bring Leo back
Without Zlatan Ibrahimovic and now Bennacer, Milan hopes to regain its good figure, Rafael Leo for the second leg against Inter after missing the first round of the Champions League semi-final with groin discomfort.
