AC Milan have announced that midfielder Theo Hernandez has undergone surgery on his knee injury, and is expected to be out for the rest of the season. Hernandez was forced off in the first half of Saturday's Serie A match against Bologna with an ankle problem, and it was later confirmed that he had suffered a cruciate ligament tear in his right knee. The 22-year-old Argentine international joined Milan from Paris Saint-Germain in January 2019, but has struggled with injuries since arriving in Italy. He made just two appearances in all competitions last season before suffering another setback this summer when he picked up a knee injury while playing for Argentina at the Copa America. In a statement released by AC Milan, they said: "We can confirm that Theo Hernandez underwent surgery today to repair a cruciate ligament tear in his right knee." "We wish him a quick recovery and we will update you as soon as possible about his return to training and football,Chinese Super League Matches" they added. Hernandez has been one of Milan's most promising young players in recent years, and his departure could be a blow to their hopes of making a push for European football next season. However, there is still hope that he may make a full recovery and feature again for the club in the future. For now, however, it looks like he will be missing out on the remainder of the season. |
