Milan will be without Kyle Walker for several weeks after he suffered a right elbow fracture in training. He quickly underwent surgery to repair the olecranon using osteosynthesis. The procedure was successful.
According to La Repubblica, the fullback’s return date will be determined in the coming days, but he is expected to remain out for around a month. It means he will miss the return leg of the Coppa Italia semi-finals against Inter on April 23. Unless they opt to add a center-back, the Rossoneri will rely on Alex Jimenez, Alessandro Florenzi, and Filippo Terracciano for relief.
Walker sustaining a severe injury might have an impact on his future, as Milan is yet to decide whether to buy him out for €5 million. However, they are trending in that direction.

According to Calciomercato, they will contact Manchester City to discuss Tijjani Reijnders. He has become a target for Pep Guardiola’s team, which is looking to retool its midfield. He extended his contract not too long ago, binding himself down until 2030. He’s making €3.5M annually.
While this means he will not leave, missing out on the Champions League and a €50/60 million offer may cause both the club and the player to reconsider.
