AC Milan’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic & Atletico’s Joao Felix suffer bad injuries as Bundesliga data shows 266% rise in injury risks

Zlatan Ibrahimovic badly hurt at AC Milan training

38-year-old Zlatan Ibrahimovic is under contract at AC Milan until the end of the season.

However, there’s now a very high probability that Milan fans will never see Zlatan Ibrahimovic in action for their club ever again.

That’s following a bad injury suffered by the Swede at training on Monday.

According to reports, Ibra hurt himself in the final stages of training yesterday.

While some speculated that Zlatan may have damaged his Achilles, subsequent reports suggested that Swede hurt his calf.

Obviously, the latter injury would be favourable as an ACL injury would leave Ibrahimovic on the sidelines for months.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Zlatan will undergo more tests today to determine the extent of his injury.
