JAKARTA - Zlatan Ibrahimovic is threatened to miss defending AC Milan after experiencing muscle problems after helping his team beat Napoli 3-1 in Serie A on Monday WIB. AC Milan is now anxiously hopeful.
Ibrahimovic looked in pain while holding his left leg and had to be pulled off the pitch in the 78th minute of the match at the Stadio San Paolo.
Milan will carry out further tests on the Swedish striker to determine the severity of the muscle problems the 39-year-old striker has experienced.
Speaking after the match, Daniele Bonera - who replaced coach Stefano Pioli because he tested positive for COVID-19 - hoped that Ibrahimovic's injury would not be severe.
"We don't have a lot of information at the moment, it looks like a muscle problem, but we will have to wait a few days to see how far it is," Bonera told Sky Sport Italia after the match.
Ibrahimovic's injury came at a bad time due to the Rossoneri's busy schedule before Christmas. They have nine games to play in the span of a month and have already been left behind by Portugal striker Rafael Leao due to physical complaints.
Milan are scheduled to travel to Lille in the Europa League match on Friday morning WIB and will try to avenge the 0-3 defeat by the Ligue 1 team at the San Siro.
After that, they host Fiorentina and before Christmas they also have to face Lazio and Sassuolo on 20 December.
