Ibrahimovic ruled out of key matches through injury

Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s injury troubles continue as the 40-year-old has been forced to the sidelines for at least 10 days due to knee issues.

The Swedish veteran has already missed 16 games through injury this campaign and his physical problems are continuing to prove bothersome, leaving him frustrated on the sidelines. Ibrahimovic was one of the four Rossoneri players not to travel with the squad for their goalless draw against Torino on Sunday.

As reported by Sky Sports Italia, Ibrahimovic will be forced to miss at least 10 days of action due to a knee overload, forcing him to undergo treatment. He will miss the upcoming matches against Genoa and Lazio, as well as the Coppa Italia semi-finals against intercity rivals Inter.

The 40-year-old Ibrahimovic has only played 19 Serie A games this season, for a total of 937 minutes. In that time, he’s scored eight goals and provided two assists, continuing to be a leader in the dressing room.
