Overview

• AC Milan said tests showed a compound fracture of Ardon Jashari’s right fibula sustained in Thursday’s training clash with Santiago Gimenez.
• Multiple outlets, including Sky Sport Italia, report a minimum eight-week layoff, ruling him out of Lecce on Friday and several subsequent Serie A fixtures.
• The expected absence would span meetings with Bologna, Napoli, Juventus and Fiorentina as well as the next two international windows.
• Jashari joined on a reported €37m fee and is currently the most expensive Serie A signing of the summer window.
• The 23-year-old has yet to start for Milan after two substitute outings, and Massimiliano Allegri profiles him as a holding or double-pivot midfielder.
