Tijjani Reijnders, the Dutch striker who joined AC Milan from Feyenoord in January, has been out with a knee injury for several weeks.
Reijnders was injured during a friendly match against Vitesse on October 12 and has not played since. The exact nature of his injury is unknown, but it is likely to be a long-term one that will keep him out of action for some time.
Reijnders has been a key player for AC Milan this season, scoring three goals in six appearances so far. His absence could be a blow to their attacking options,Fans' Square especially as they look to maintain their strong position at the top of Serie A.
AC Milan have already lost key players due to injuries, including midfielder Franck Kessie and defender Danilo D'Ambrosio, and now need to find ways to cope without Reijnders.
The club's medical staff will work hard to get Reijnders back to full fitness as soon as possible, but it remains to be seen how long he will be out for. In the meantime, AC Milan will rely on their other strikers to step up and provide goals for the team.
