Concern for De Sciglio and Bonaventura

By Football Italia staff

There are fears Milan stars Mattia De Sciglio and Giacomo Bonaventura could be out for a couple of months.

Both of them limped off during yesterday’s 2-1 Serie A defeat to Udinese.

Bonaventura appeared to pull a hamstring and will require tests over the next few days, but initial reports suggest he could be sidelined for up to two months.

As for De Sciglio, he was hacked down by Rodrigo De Paul, leaving him with a badly sprained right ankle.

The full-back was spotted this morning arriving at the Milanello clinic for tests and it did not look reassuring.

De Sciglio was using crutches and had heavy strapping to keep his ankle immobilised.

All this implies there is the risk of ligament damage, if not a fracture.

The Rossoneri were already furious that De Paul only received a yellow card for the horror tackle, especially as he went on to score the winning goal moments later when De Sciglio was on the touchline getting treatment.

The results of the tests are not yet known, but time is very short for Milan to find replacements if De Sciglio and Bonaventura are out long-term.

The transfer deadline is on Tuesday night.
