Official: Ibrahimovic undergoes knee surgery and will be out for up to 8 months | OneFootball

AC Milan have confirmed that striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has undergone surgery on his knee and will be out for a considerable amount of time.

Through a statement on the club’s official website, they have confirmed that Ibrahimovic underwent an operation on his left knee today and that his estimated recovery time is 7-8 months.

It has been well documented that the Swede was playing through a difficult situation with his knee towards the back end of last season that was preventing him from ever getting close to 100% fit and instead was restricting him to only appearances off the bench.

That has led to speculation about what the future might hold given Ibrahimovic’s deal runs out at the end of next month, and while we can probably expect word soon, it seems unlikely at this stage that he will carry on playing into his 40s as planned.

The Scudetto win may go down as his last big contribution to the Rossoneri and to football, though we will hear more in the coming days and weeks no doubt.
