AC Milan midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek sustained a fractured jaw after a clash with Parma goalkeeper Edoardo Corvi on Sunday in Serie A.
The club said in a statement that he underwent surgery on Monday, the operation went well, he has been discharged after a night in hospital, and he is expected to be out for around eight weeks.
Loftus-Cheek was taken off on a stretcher during Milan’s 1-0 defeat against Parma on matchday 26.
He did not lose consciousness, though he lost several teeth and was taken to hospital immediately after the incident.
The recovery timeline should not affect his chances of selection for England under Thomas Tuchel for the 2026 World Cup.
