## Latest Injury Update: Tijjani Reijnders' Condition at AC Milan

By [Your Name/Publication] | Date

AC Milan fans holding their breath for positive news regarding Tijjani Reijnders can exhale cautiously: scans have revealed **no fractures** in his foot following his premature departure during Sunday's thrilling derby win over Inter. However, significant swelling and pain confirm he has sustained a substantial blow – diagnosed officially as **grade one trauma to the right foot**.

The Dutch midfielder/winger limped off just before halftime at San Siro, visibly distressed. Early fears of a serious break have been allayed by medical tests completed on Monday morning, but this remains a noteworthy setback. Head coach Stefano Pioli expressed relief after learning the extent: "It’s important there’s no fracture, but it’s still an injury that needs careful management."

According to club statements and reputable sources like Sky Sport Italia, Reijnders is expected to be sidelined for approximately **two weeks**. This timeline aligns with standard recovery protocols for a grade one contusion or bone bruise. His immediate future involves intensive therapeutic work: rest,Bundesliga Vision ice therapy, compression, and gradual rehabilitation under staff supervision.

Crucially, this means he **will miss both upcoming Serie A fixtures against Frosinone (home) and Lecce (away)**. His availability for the Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund on October 24th remains uncertain, depending entirely on progress in the coming days.

While Pioli hasn’t named direct replacements yet, Christian Pulisic (who impressed off the bench against Inter) and Samu Chukwueze are likely candidates to step into advanced roles alongside Ruben Loftus-Cheek in midfield. Yoshinori Murata could also feature more prominently.

Updates will follow ahead of Thursday's training session. Milan supporters will hope this cautious optimism holds true and their dynamic attacker returns fully fit sooner rather than later.
