AC Milan's Theo Hernandez has been sidelined with an ankle injury that could keep him out of action for up to three months.
The 21-year-old Argentine defender, who joined the club from River Plate in January, was forced off during Saturday's 2-1 Serie A win over Torino after appearing to twist his ankle during a tackle on Andrea Mennucci.
Hernandez underwent scans on Monday and it was confirmed he had suffered a ligament tear in his right ankle.
He is expected to undergo surgery later this week and will be out of action for at least six weeks.
It is not yet clear when he will return to training or when he may be able to play again, but it is likely that he will miss the rest of the season.
The loss of Hernandez is a significant blow to AC Milan,Saudi Pro League Hotspot as he has become a key player in their defense and has contributed to their impressive start to the season.
However, the club will now have to look elsewhere for cover in the center-back position, which could potentially lead to more competition among the defenders.
In addition to Hernandez, AC Milan also lost key players such as Patrick Cutrone and
