Reports: Jashari set for period sidelined as Milan fear ‘serious’ fibula issue

AC Milan, after pursuing Ardon Jashari all summer, will be without the midfielder, potentially for an extended period. 

In his press conference this morning, Massimiliano Allegri stated that there had been an accident in training where Santiago Gimenez had injured Jashari in a small-sided game. However, there were no further details given, aside from the fact that he would miss the Lecce clash.

Now, it seems that Friday’s fixture may only be the start of a long road without the Swiss midfielder, whom the Rossoneri spent almost €40 million on this summer.

Fibula fracture

According to Luca Bianchin on X, there is a ‘serious problem’ with Jashari’s right fibula following the collision. At present, a fracture is feared, but it is clear that he will miss a few weeks, that much is a certainty.

Gianluca Di Marzio (via Milan Matters) also reports similar, stating that the injury ‘seems to be serious’ and that he could ‘be out for a long time’. Of course, this is purely based on the facts available right now, but a fibula fracture can take between six and eight weeks to heal. However, pain and swelling can be present for months.

This is where you would say you can’t write it, but with Milan, you really can.
