MN: Okafor suffers new injury setback with calf issue in training – the latest | OneFootball

Some more bad news has arrived on the injury front for AC Milan as Noah Okafor went down with a muscle issue in training, a report claims.

Okafor came off the bench in the second half of the 0-0 draw with Genoa on Sunday, and he got a 4 out of 10 in our ratings. Just like Morata, it was an absolutely awful cameo in which he looked sluggish and with zero timing. An overhit cross at the end was comical and drew cheers from the fans.

According to what is being reported by MilanNews, the former Salzburg player sustained a muscular problem in his calf during training at Milanello on Monday, which will keep him out while awaiting further tests.

Depending on what the scans reveal it is possible that his 2024 could be over, given that only games against Verona (on Friday) and Roma (on December 29) remain before the trip to Saudi Arabia for the Supercoppa Italiana.

Amid the reports that a January sale for the Swiss forward cannot be ruled out, it is not a timely injury for Okafor who continues to prove himself to be physically unreliable. Given Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah are absent, the forward department remains depleted too.
