During the match against Girona, an injury struck a Milan player: Conceição was forced to replace Emerson Royal.
Sérgio Conceição is dealing with yet another problem. In the match against Girona, valid for the 7th round of the Champions League, the Portuguese coach had to cope with the injury loss of Emerson Royal.
The full-back was forced off in the 4th minute of the first half, prematurely ending his game as he made his way to the bench to receive medical attention.
The Milan coach had no choice but to make an early substitution so that the medical staff could assess the player’s condition and provide an initial diagnosis of the injury sustained by the Rossoneri right-back.
In the coming hours, the usual medical tests will be scheduled to better determine the extent of the trauma, estimate the recovery timeline, and outline the rehabilitation program.
Milan, Emerson Royal’s Condition
The Brazilian defender collapsed to the ground after a sprint following a challenge with Gil, immediately hinting at a muscle-related issue.
In his place, the Rossoneri coach brought on Davide Calabria, who took over on the right flank. The severity of the injury will be assessed in the coming days, but the initial footage suggests Emerson Royal's injury appears to be quite serious.
