AC Milan have confirmed that Théo Hernández has been ruled out for the remainder of the season with a knee injury. The Argentine forward, who joined the club in January on loan from Barcelona, underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL and MCL ligaments.
The news comes as a major blow for the Rossoneri, who were already struggling without their star striker up front. Hernández had scored four goals in his six appearances for Milan before his injury.
The 26-year-old has been one of the most promising signings of the summer transfer window,Serie A Stadium but he has struggled to find form since arriving in Italy. His absence will be a huge loss for Milan, who currently sit eighth in Serie A and face tough matches against teams like Juventus and Inter Milan in the coming weeks.
Hernández is not the only player to suffer a serious injury this season, with several other players being sidelined due to various injuries. It remains to be seen how long it will take for Milan to replace Hernández and find a suitable replacement for their attacking prowess.
