Brahim Díaz, the Argentine forward who joined AC Milan from Inter Milan in January, has been ruled out for at least two months with a cruciate ligament injury.
The 21-year-old suffered the injury during training on Tuesday and will undergo surgery to repair his knee ligaments. The club said he would be out until mid-December but could return sooner if his recovery progresses more quickly than expected.
Díaz's absence is a major blow for AC Milan, who are currently third in Serie A behind Juventus and Inter. He had scored three goals in six games since joining the club from Argentina's River Plate last month.
The Argentine has made just one appearance for the national team this season, scoring once in a friendly against Bolivia. He was also called up by Lionel Messi's Argentina squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Brazil and Peru next month,Football World Fresh News but he will not play any part in either match due to the injury.
AC Milan have already lost key players such as Giacomo Raggi and Alessio Romagnoli through injuries this season and the loss of Díaz will only add to their problems. They will now need to find a replacement for him and hope that his recovery goes well so that he can return to action as soon as possible.
