Milan will have to do without Sergino Dest for their Serie A clash with Sassuolo after the American suffered a muscle injury.
The Rossoneri have already been unlucky with injuries this season, doing without first team regulars like Mike Maignan, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Divock Origi for large parts of the campaign.
The slight injury crisis has disrupted the team’s momentum and now league leaders Napoli look set to run away with the Scudetto this season.
As reported by Calciomercato.com, Pioli has not included Dest in his Milan squad for the game against Sassuolo, leaving out the American full back after he suffered an injury to the rotator muscle in his left hip.
The 22-year-old, who joined on loan from Barcelona last summer, has played 632 minutes of action across 14 appearances this season, slowly growing into an interesting option. His loan deal has a buy option attached, worth around €20m.
