Pervis Estupiñán suffers knee injury with Ecuador

AC Milan defender Pervis Estupiñán has suffered a knee injury while on international duty with Ecuador. The injury occurred during Ecuador’s tour in Asia, specifically during their match against Japan.

Ecuador’s national team confirmed that medical evaluations and imaging studies diagnosed the player with a knee sprain involving internal knee issues. The Ecuadorian federation has shared the clinical information with AC Milan’s medical department to facilitate his recovery.

Ecuador coach Marcelo Gallardo confirmed the injury after Estupiñán was unable to participate in the team’s recent match against Panama. The defender is expected to undergo further clinical assessments upon his return to Milan to determine the exact recovery timeline.

The injury presents a challenge for Milan manager Ruben Amorim, as the club faces a dense schedule of Serie A and Europa League fixtures. Estupiñán’s absence follows a recent injury to teammate Alexis Saelemaekers, creating depth concerns for the left flank.
