AC Milan defender Kalulu set for spell on sidelines
AC Milan defender Pierre Kalulu has had surgery and is expected to be out of action for around four months.
The 23 year-old centre-half ruptured a thigh muscle in last weekend’s 2-2 draw at Serie A rival Napoli and had an operation to repair the damage.
Milan said on its official website: “AC Milan can confirm that Pierre Kalulu underwent surgery today to repair a complete rupture of his left rectus femoris tendon.
“The operation, which was carried out in Finland by Professor Lasse Lempainen in the presence of AC Milan’s head of medical team, Stefano Mazzoni, was a complete success.
“His expected recovery time is estimated to be around four months.”
Kalulu is in his fourth season with Milan after joining from Lyon in 2020.
He made his first start in Serie A this season at Napoli on Sunday after three substitute appearances, but sustained the injury in the 19th minute.
