Bad news for AC Milan from the tests that Ismael Bennacer underwent this morning. The Algerian midfielder left the field in the 17th minute of the first leg of the Champions League semifinal between Milan and Inter due to a knee problem. As reported by Sky Sport Italia, he later left San Siro on crutches.
According to what has been relayed by MilanPress.it, the results of the tests showed a post-traumatic injury to the cartilage of the lateral femoral condyle of the right knee. The player will undergo arthroscopic surgery, and it is highly likely that his season is over.
