Milan, Bennacer: serious injury and 3 months likely out
“Third degree calf injury”: The serious injury which risks keeping out Ismael Bennacer for about 3 months (injury in training with the Algerian national team, the medical tests in the next few hours will clarify things better), keeps the Rossoneri fans anxious and forces Milan to change some plans in the midfield department on the eve of a tour de force that will see Fonseca’s team playing practically every 3 days between Serie A (only two points in the first three days so far) and Champions League (we start with the triptych Venice-Liverpool-Inter).
Milan, Vos and Zeroli promoted: Fonseca’s moves after Bennacer’s injury
There have been many rumours in the last few hours about the Devil’s moves in light of Bennacer’s injury. Let’s proceed in order. It is clear that Fonseca risks having serious problems in the rotations given that in the middle of the field he only has Fofana, Reijnders and Musah (in addition to the possible setback of Loftus Cheekalthough the Englishman is more comfortable in an advanced position). The first move should lead to an acceleration in the Dutchman’s integration into the first team Silvano Vos: the Dutchman, born in 2005, arrived in the summer from Ajax for 2.5 million and amazed everyone with his technical and physical skills on his debut with Milan Futuro in the match that ended 1-1 against Carpi. “Leaving aside Camarda and Zeroli, in my opinion there are two players out of category who are Vos and Jimenez”the coach of the Emilian team had said at the end of the match. Vos could be a nice surprise for this emergency Milan, but he can only be used in the championship, given that he does not have the minimum requirements to be part of List B for the Champions League. And in the top European club competition, Fonseca will most likely call up the other jewel of the young Milan, namely the 19 year old Kevin Zeroli who has already seen the first team in the last year and is considered one of the best talents in Italian football (not by chance a strong point in the Under 20 Azzurri).
Milan-Rabiot after Bennacer’s injury? Here’s the situation
And then there is the dream of AC Milan fans: Adrien Rabiot. With him alongside Fofana and Reijnders, the Devils would make a great leap in quality in midfield. The 29-year-old former Juventus midfielder is still a free agent (last match played was the Euro 2024 semi-final, France-Spain on 9 July): in the summer he had been linked several times with the Rossoneri team, but Ismael Bennacer was supposed to leave (between sirens from Saudi Arabia and interest from Atletico Madrid-Marseille which did not take off).
Could this injury to the Algerian champion heat up the Rabiot track again? The scenario or suggestion is obviously current, even if up to now nothing has happened: the Frenchman (who in any case could not play the eight matches of the first phase of the Champions League) should lower his engagement requests which up to now have been at least 7.5 million net per season. At these figures, a blitz by Milan is unthinkable. It’s true though that up to now Rabiot rejected offers from Saudi Arabia and Türkiye because he would like to stay in one of the big European leagues (Serie A, Premier League, La Liga or Bundesliga)…
