Milan lose Kalulu for four months after surgery

Milan confirmed that defender Pierre Kalulu has gone below the knife for a torn tendon and might be out of motion for a minimum of 4 months.

The membership had already feared the worst when he limped off throughout the opening minutes of the 2-2 draw with Napoli on the weekend.

He required a specialist session, which confirmed the entire rupture of the left rectus femoris tendon.

Kalulu had surgical procedure in Finland as we speak, carried out by Professor Lasse Lempainen within the presence of Milan medical chief Stefano Mazzoni and it was ‘an entire success.’

The restoration time within the assertion is estimated to be “round 4 months” and meaning he may solely get better for the ultimate portion of the season.

It’s a large blow, as Kalulu already missed a number of video games this season with one other muscular damage.

He can play as a centre-back, on the correct or left of the defence, so his absence leaves the Rossoneri badly short-staffed in that space.
