(ANSA) - Rome, September 25 - Napoli's Poland striker
Arkadiusz Milik had a "perfectly successful" operation on a torn
anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) Monday and will be out for
about four months, as he was after a similar injury last season,
Napoli said.
Milik tore his right ACL in Napoli's 3-2 Serie A win at
Ferrara-based SPAL at the weekend.
The 23-year-old has played as a substitute in Napoli's
perfect start to the Serie A season.
Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri said the "disgraceful" state of
the SPAL pitch might have been the cause of Milik's injury.
