Ruben Loftus-Cheek Returns to AC Milan Training After Jaw Injury, Targets Napoli Comeback
Ruben Loftus-Cheek has resumed full training with AC Milan, signaling his potential return to action against Napoli following a recent facial fracture.
The midfielder had been sidelined since February 22, when he sustained a severe injury during an accidental clash with Parma goalkeeper Edoardo Corvi. He was stretchered off the field requiring a neck brace, and subsequently underwent surgery to mend a fractured alveolar bone in his jaw. The unfortunate incident also resulted in several teeth being dislodged.
Initially, the expected recovery period after the operation was approximately eight weeks. This projection has proven accurate, as Loftus-Cheek rejoined his teammates for training today, an event enthusiastically highlighted by AC Milan's official social media channels.
Consequently, it is anticipated that the former Chelsea player will be available for selection in the crucial Serie A clash against third-placed Napoli, scheduled after the upcoming international break.
This season has presented challenges for Loftus-Cheek, who has registered three goals and one assist across 27 competitive appearances for Milan. Meanwhile, teammates Matteo Gabbia and Rafael Leao are continuing their respective recovery treatments for ongoing injuries.
