AC Milan are expecting to be without midfielder Lucas Biglia for around two games because of a niggling knee injury.
The 31-year-old, who was signed from Lazio in the summer for a €17m, is an important player for the Rossoneri and club officials will have everything crossed he hasn't done himself significant damage.
Club doctor Gianluca Melegati told Milan TV, as quoted by Football Italia: "It’s a niggle we’ve known about for a long time but, great professional that he is, he’s always been willing to play.
"Now though the pain has increased, so we chose to have him stop and take some time to recover.
