Last night at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, Ruben Loftus-Cheek was supposed to start alongside Warren Bondo in Milan's midfield duo. However, the English midfielder was struck by an acute appendicitis attack, which prevented him from doing so.
His condition was so severe that the Rossoneri's number 8 was immediately taken into surgery, as confirmed this morning by Corriere dello Sport. The newspaper ran the following headline:
"Loftus-Cheek operated on in Naples"
The source also reported the expected recovery time for the English midfielder. In fact, the former Chelsea player is expected to be available for Sergio Conceição in about a month, with the hope that the bad news for Ruben ends here.
