During their U.S. tour, AC Milan faced an unexpected setback: Marco Sportiello, their newly signed goalkeeper, suffered an injury that will sideline him for several weeks. This development has led the club to consider bringing in Simone Scuffet as a replacement.
Sportitalia report how Sportiello participated in the first half of Milan’s initial test match under new coach Paulo Fonseca in Austria against Rapid, before handing over the goalkeeping duties to Lorenzo Torriani. However, he missed the first friendly match of the Soccer Champions Tour against Manchester City due to an accidental injury sustained at the hotel. The injury, a trauma to his left hand, prevented the veteran keeper from taking the field.
Recent updates on Sportiello’s condition are not encouraging, prompting AC Milan to re-enter the transfer market in search of a backup for their first-choice goalkeeper, Mike Maignan.
