Official: Florenzi facing five-month absence after successful operation in Finland | OneFootball

AC Milan have announced that Alessandro Florenzi underwent surgery in Finland to repair the injury he sustained in the recent draw with Sassuolo.

In a statement on the official website, Milan confirmed that suffered a severe injury to the biceps femoris of his left hamstring, which required surgery. The operation was conducted this morning by Professor Lasse Lempainen in Finland, with Milan club doctor Dr Stefano Mazzoni in attendance.

The surgery was successful and Florenzi will now return to Italy tomorrow to begin the rehabilitation process, with the statement adding that he is estimated to make a full recovery in five months.

There was immediate panic when Florenzi went down in severe pain in the closing stages of the game in Reggio Emilia, and Milan knew the injury was not a minor one as they decided to sign Sergino Dest on deadline day to provide cover on the right flank.
