More headache for Pioli: Milan’s African left San Siro on crutches

Since the beginning of the season, Zlatan Ibrahimović has played only 144 minutes. Rafael Leao was injured before the first semi-final match of the Champions League with Inter, and the 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans was followed by another blow – the injury of Ismael Bennacer.The Algerian stepped out of last night’s city derby in the 18th minute and it is a big question whether he will be able to play in the second leg in a week. He left the San Siro stadium on crutches, so Milan are eagerly awaiting today’s examination report.##NAJAVA_MECA_7244793##Bennacer is among the Milan players with 40 appearances this season – ahead of only Leao (44), Kalulu (43), Tonali (43) and Giroud (42) – so his potential absence will be an added problem for Stefano Pioli. Milan’s coach made a worrying statement after the game.”Bennacer felt a lot of pain in his knee. He doesn’t know exactly when the injury occurred, but he said that he was in a lot of pain,” Pioli said.UCL: Inter rule the city!
