Milan Faces Injury Setback: Loftus-Cheek Out for 2 Weeks

Ruben Loftus-Cheek will be sidelined for at least two weeks due to a confirmed muscle tear in his left thigh, significantly affecting AC Milan's squad depth. This injury means he will miss key fixtures, including the home match against Bologna, the crucial derby against Inter, and the Europa League clash with Ferencváros. Bettors should note that this absence adds to Milan's growing list of injuries, which now totals eight first-team players, including long-term absentees.

Despite these setbacks, Milan remains unbeaten in Serie A this season, currently sitting on 18 points after a series of back-to-back wins. The team's resilience will be tested as they approach their next matches without Loftus-Cheek and other key players. Bettors may want to consider how these injuries could impact Milan's performance in upcoming fixtures, especially in high-stakes games like the derby, where squad strength plays a critical role.
