Andrea Conti has suffered ligament damage to the same knee on which he had surgery last September, AC Milan have confirmed.
The 24-year-old has sustained a severe sprain and is set to undergo further checks in the coming days.
"AC Milan inform that during today's training session, Andrea Conti has suffered a sprained knee injury, the same knee he underwent surgery on September 16," a Milan statement confirmed on Tuesday.
"The diagnostic exams and checks carried out by Professor Herbert Schoenhuber excluded a rupture of the reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), but they have shown a severe sprain to the lateral knee compartment, which will be further evaluated in the coming days."
Conte joined the Rossoneri from Atalanta last July in a deal that cost a reported €24million and saw Matteo Pessina move the other way.
