MILAN (AP) — Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s injury is less serious than first believed with tests showing the AC Milan forward did not damage his Achilles tendon.
Ibrahimovic was injured on Monday while training for the restart of Serie A soccer. It was announced that he had a calf injury but there were also reports that he could be facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines with an Achilles tendon injury, too.
However, Milan said tests on Tuesday have revealed “an injury to his right soleus muscle” but that “the Achilles tendon is perfectly intact.”
“The player will undergo a scan in 10 days,” Milan said.
