There are two major setbacks in Milan's preseason, which has otherwise been mostly positive so far: the first is the serious injury to Alessandro Florenzi, who tore his cruciate ligament and meniscus against City; the second concerns Marco Sportiello. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the second-choice Rossoneri goalkeeper sustained a serious cut to his left hand while at the hotel in New York, which will keep him out for over two months. Investigations are underway to determine the prognosis and whether surgery will be necessary.
To address the prolonged absence of the former Atalanta player, Milan is looking for a replacement: the first viable name is Simone Scuffet, born in 1996 and currently with Cagliari. He has a transfer fee of 3 million euros and could become a strong option, especially if Silvestri, currently with Udinese, accepts the move to Cagliari. In the meantime, Fonseca is relying on 2005-born Torriani, who will be the third goalkeeper this season.
