The Nerazzurri captain had to stop on Wednesday night during the Champions League playoff against Bodø/Glimt. Images of the Argentine limping immediately raised concerns throughout the club, as did Cristian Chivu's words after the match. 

The Romanian coach, in fact, emphasized that it was a serious injury: "In my opinion, we've lost him, he's hurt. He's hurt. Quite seriously."

‼️ How long Lautaro will be out

All eyes were on this morning's results. Lautaro underwent tests, which confirmed the initial concerns, although no lesions were found.

The layoff will not be short; it could even be more than a month. No derby, therefore, and a return is more likely after the international break at the end of March. In this scenario, besides the Milan match, the Toro will also miss the second leg against Bodø, the first leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal against Como, and the league matches against Genoa, Atalanta, and Fiorentina. 

There is hope—even if small—that the Argentine could recover sooner, but the Nerazzurri’s priority is to take no risks.
