AC Milan suffer double injury blow

AC Milan will be without Robinho and Ignazio Abate after the duo picked up injuries during the Rossoneri’s 3-0 victory over Celtic on Tuesday.

The victory was welcome relief to the Diavolo after their recent struggles, but it appears as though the three points have come at a coast.

The club released a statement on Wednesday stating that Robinho picked up a dislocated shoulder during the encounter, an injury that will rule him out for four weeks.

Abate suffered a sprained ankle and while no timetable was given for his return, he is expected to miss several weeks of action.

Milan will travel to the Stadio Angelo Massimino on Sunday to take on Catania.
