Lucas Biglia could miss the next two months of action after tests confirmed the AC Milan midfielder has a torn calf muscle.
The Rossoneri were forced to play Wednesday’s game against Genoa without the Argentine after he pulled up during the warm-up, though his side ran out 2-1 victors.
Biglia was seen leaving the stadium on crutches, and tests on Friday confirmed he has suffered a tear in his calf.
He will be evaluated again in 15 days, but Sky Sport Italia reports the midfielder could miss as much as two months.
His absence would leave a big hole in the Milan midfield, as Tiemoue Bakayoko – who started in place of Biglia on Wednesday – has so far failed to impress.
Riccardo Montolivo remains frozen out of the squad, while Giacomo Bonaventura remains sidelined with a left knee inflammation that is expected to keep him out of Sunday’s match against Udinese.
