Milan star Zlatan Ibrahimovic underwent keyhole knee surgery today and will remain out of action from seven to eight months, Milan announced.
The Serie A champions announced that the 40-year-old sustained a surgery at Lyon’s Hôpital Jean Mermoz today.
Doctor Bertrand Sonnery-Cottet performed the surgery in the presence of the club’s chief doctor Stefano Mazzoni.
Milan claim the operation had been scheduled a long time ago, adding that the striker won’t return to action before seven or eight months.
Ibrahimovic has been struggling with injuries this season and has missed 18 games due to physical issues this term.
He was introduced in the second half of Milan’s 3-0 win over Sassuolo on Sunday, which saw the Rossoneri claim the 19th Serie A title in their history, the first one in 11 years.
Ibra returned to Milan in January 2020 and has scored 92 goals in 159 games during his two spells with the Rossoneri. His contract at San Siro runs out in June.
