Romagnoli in doubt for Milan derby
Alessio Romagnoli could miss AC Milan's Serie A meeting with city rival Inter after suffering a groin injury on international duty.
AC Milan will likely have to make do without the services of Alessio Romagnoli in Monday's (AEDT) derby clash with Inter due to a groin injury.
The centre-back suffered a knock in Wednesday's (AEDT) 0-0 friendly draw between Italy and Germany and made way for Davide Astori at half-time.
It is not yet known how long the 21-year-old will be out of action, but a return in time to face Inter seems unlikely at this stage.
"Milan announce that Alessio Romagnoli suffered a groin injury during the match with Italy on Tuesday night," a brief statement on the club's website read. "The player will undergo further medical examination in the next few days."
Romagnoli, 21, has been a key figure for Milan this term, making 11 Serie A appearances.
Milan is third in the table with 25 points from 12 games, five behind leader Juventus but eight ahead of Inter.
