Milan beat Manchester City in New York (3-2) on Saturday, but this prestigious victory was marred by a serious injury sustained by Alessandro Florenzi.
The 33-year-old Italian right-back had to retire before half-time and, after the initial tests he underwent, he suffered damage to the cruciate ligament and the lateral meniscus in his right knee.
It will be operated in Italy
Florence, 33 years old, will immediately return to Italy and undergo surgery. For him, the season was over before it started after performing at a good level last season, totaling 40 games in all competitions.
This is not the first time Florenzi He was seriously injured during his career. In September 2022, he underwent surgery in Finland to sever the proximal tendon of the biceps femoris of the left thigh. Previously, he missed almost the entire 2016-17 season due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury in his left knee suffered in October from which he resurfaced in February.
This serious setback may lead Milan to diversify its approach to the market. The signing of Emerson Royal, a goal that he has been chasing for a long time, seems to be close to being closed as negotiations with Tottenham have moved forward, but Paulo Fonseca, the new coach being replaced Stefano Piolithe board will assess the need to include another right back.
