AC Milan defender Kyle Walker will be sidelined after undergoing surgery on a fractured elbow.

The 34-year-old England international sustained the injury during a training session and subsequently had surgery.

“To facilitate optimal healing and expedite recovery, the player underwent surgery in Milan,” the club stated.

“The operation was a success and proceeded as expected. Kyle will start rehabilitation immediately.”

Walker joined Milan in January on loan until the end of the season after losing his starting position under Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.

He has participated in 12 matches for the Rossoneri across all competitions. The club currently sits in ninth place in Serie A and is in the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia.

Milan holds an option to purchase Walker’s contract at the conclusion of the loan period.
