AC Milan Primavera will be without Victor Eletu for the rest of the season after the Nigerian youngster had to have surgery on an injury.
As has been announced by the AC Milan Youth Sector on X, the 2005-born midfielder suffered a serious knee injury that required surgery and the procedure took place on March 28 at the Galeazzi-Sant’Ambrogio Orthopedic Institute.
The club said the surgery went perfectly and Eletu can now undergo a period of recovery as he looks ahead to next season.
Milan sits seventh in the Primavera table and is not fighting for a trophy domestically, but will play in the final four of the UEFA Youth League and Eletu has been one of the star performers in that tournament.
Milan will face FC Porto in the semi-final later in April and the potential final is on April 22, so there is no hope of Eletu recovering in time.
He has played five of Milan’s eight Youth League games this season and has featured in 20 league matches, scoring three times and getting four assists.
He will be a serious miss for Ignazio Abate and he must find a new way to strengthen his midfield for the match against Porto.
