The Rossoneri released a statement confirming centre-back Alex sustained a thigh strain during training on Friday afternoon.

He has been diagnosed with a lesion to the right thigh.

It not only means the ex-PSG man will miss the Milan derby, but he’s likely to be out for at least a couple of weeks.

Milan are already without the suspended Daniele Bonera against Inter, while Ignazio Abate, Nigel de Jong and Riccardo Montolivo are also in doubt.
