Ruben Loftus-Cheek should actually appear for the AC Milan against Naples today. But instead of on the soccer field, he suddenly found himself in the hospital.
Ferred moment around Ruben Loftus-Cheek: The former English international (ten games between 2017 and 2018) from AC Milan had to be hospitalized in a hospital in the southern Italian city a few hours before his team against SSC Naples. Several national media report that.
Loftus-Cheek suddenly felt severe pain in the abdomen, it is said. In the clinic, acute appendicitis was then found at the 29-year-old. The necessary operation is already scheduled for the afternoon. The blind intestine of the professional is to be removed.
For Loftus-Cheek, who changed from FC Chelsea to Milan for a total of 18.9 million euros in 2023, his personal epidemic season continues. The midfield actor should actually be in the starting eleven against Naples for the first time since the end of November. From December to March he was missing due to an adductor injury, then because of muscular problems. Now the appendix surgery forces him to make a new break.
The AC Milan is still fighting for international business. The team from the fashion metropolis is currently only ninth, lagging behind its own demands. Opponent Naples, currently second in the table, wants to put AC-Rivale Inter under pressure in the title race with a win against the “Rossoneri”.
