De Sciglio out for six weeks?

By Football Italia staff

There are reports Mattia De Sciglio could be out for six weeks, while Cristian Zapata is sidelined for a month.

Milan beat Sassuolo 2-1 to reach the Coppa Italia quarter-finals on Tuesday, but paid a heavy price for that game.

The club released a statement confirming Zapata has fractured a metatarsal in his foot and is expected to be out of action for a month.

Now Sky Sport Italia are reporting that De Sciglio has been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis.

It would be a recurrence of an old condition and therefore keep him on the treatment table for around 40 days.

Still only 22, versatile full-back De Sciglio has suffered a series of injury problems during his brief career.
