Theo ‘to miss Milan preseason’

Milan left-back Theo Hernandez is expected to miss the rest of preseason but should be available for the opening Serie A matchday.

Hernandez was substituted during Milan’s 1-0 defeat to Bayern Munich on Tuesday evening, going off with an ankle problem.

Although a serious injury was quickly ruled out, Corriere dello Sport warns the Rossoneri are taking no chances over the 21-year-old.

As a result, the newspaper does not foresee him playing again before the new Serie A season starts on the weekend of August 24-25.
