Calabria to miss Venezia game after sustaining injury

AC Milan defender Davide Calabria will miss the Serie A match against Venezia on Sunday due to a muscular injury. The 25-year-old right-back suffered the injury in training on Friday and underwent medical tests which confirmed the extent of the problem. Calabria has been a key player for Milan this season, making 23 appearances in all competitions. His absence will be a blow to Stefano Pioli’s side, who are looking to maintain their lead at the top of the Serie A table.

Venezia, meanwhile, will be hoping to take advantage of Calabria’s absence and secure a positive result against the league leaders.

The match will be played at the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo in Venice, with kick-off at 15:00 CET.

Calabria is expected to be out for around two weeks, meaning he could also miss Milan’s Champions League match against Liverpool on 7 December.

The injury is a further blow to Milan, who are already without several key players, including Simon Kjaer, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and Olivier Giroud.

Despite the injuries, Milan remain one of the favorites to win the Serie A title this season.

They have a two-point lead over Napoli at the top of the table and have won their last four league matches.

Venezia, meanwhile, are 17th in the table, just one point above the relegation zone.

They will be hoping to cause an upset against Milan and move further away from danger.

The match is sure to be a close and exciting contest, with both teams needing the points for different reasons.
