Boateng suffers new injury blow

AC Milan have announced that Kevin-Prince Boateng will have to spend some more time on the sidelines after sustaining a new thigh injury.

The versatile midfielder had returned from a four-week lay-off in Milan’s 4-0 Champions League victory against Arsenal in midweek, scoring the club’s first goal with a stunning volley.

However, Boateng, who was replaced in the second half, will have to return to the club’s infirmary after picking up a new muscular problem against the Gunners.

“Milan would like to announce that after the match against Arsenal, Kevin-Prince Boateng was diagnosed with a muscular strain in his left thigh,” a club statement read.

“In the next few days a prognosis will be established after further medical tests are conducted.”

The Ghana international is now doubtful for Saturday’s visit of Juventus in Serie A.
