After last Tuesday, when Alexis Saelemaekers suffered a sprain to his ankle upon returning to training, another black Tuesday has arrived for Ruben Amorim and Milan. On the one hand, the Belgian’s situation has worsened, with the player now heading towards surgery and potentially facing as much as four months on the sidelines; on the other, Pervis Estupiñán has also joined the injury list, returning from international duty with a knee problem that also forced him to miss Ecuador’s latest match.
This morning, 'Quotidiano Sportivo' ran a headline about both of Milan’s injured players: Saelemaekers, who is facing the longer absence, and Estupiñán, who should return in a shorter timeframe. The headline reads:
"Milan, SOS Saelemaekers. Estupiñán also out."
The subheading adds further details: "The Belgian is heading towards another ankle operation, with a lengthy spell on the sidelines feared." As mentioned, the former Anderlecht player could be out for more than three months, and perhaps four.
