Milan have revealed that striker Mario Balotelli will be
sidelined for around 10 days due to a shoulder injury.
The Italy international was substituted 12 minutes from
time in Milan's 1-0 UEFA Champions League defeat against Atletico Madrid on
Wednesday after being fouled by Diego Costa and was sent for tests on Thursday.
The Serie A club have confirmed that the former
Manchester City frontman will miss the trip to Sampdoria on Sunday and faces a
race against time to be fit to face leaders Juventus seven days later.
Mattia De Sciglio suffered an ankle problem in the clash
against Atletico and it is not yet known how long the defender will be
sidelined for.
A statement released by Milan on Thursday said: "AC
Milan wishes to communicate that in yesterday evening's match, Mario Balotelli
suffered a shoulder injury.
"The player visited with professor Alessandro
Castagna today and recovery time has been estimated at around 10 days without
unforeseen complications.
"Mattia De Sciglio also suffered an ankle injury in
yesterday’s match and the player's recovery time will be decided on in the coming
days based on medical tests."
