AC Milan have been dealt a massive injury blow ahead of their Champions League clash against Chelsea, in what is almost a must win game against the Italian champions for Graham Potter's side.
Having only taken one point from the first two group stage games, losing to Dinamo Zagreb and drawing with RB Salzburg, Potter will be under pressure to secure a first win when he plays the next match at Stamford Bridge on October 5th.
Although the game is still two weeks away, the importance of it cannot be overstated. Chelsea really need to be taking four points from the next two matches - home and away ties against Milan - and would be under extreme scrutiny to win at the San Siro should they fail to pick up three points at Stamford Bridge.
