However, they added in their statement he had an expected recovery time of “around three months”.

The 32-year-old had been one of Maurizio Sarri’s most-used players, starting 13 of a possible 18 matches.

His injury may open the door for Emre Can to re-establish himself, with the Bianconeri able to add him back into their Champions League squad this winter for the knockout stages.
