"Milan" without El Shaarawy will have to cope for 10 weeks © EuroFootball.com

Young "Milan" club forward Stephan El Shaarawy dropped out of the lineup for 10 weeks due to injury.

This season, the 21-year-old footballer also couldn't play for some time due to a broken leg, and the "Rossoneri" team once again received very bad news.

"Today in Portugal, El Sharaway underwent surgery on his right leg. It was successful, but the player will have to undergo treatment for 10 weeks," reads the official statement from "Milan."

The Italian national team member, plagued by injuries, this season has only appeared on the field in the fashion capital team's jersey four times and scored one goal.

S. El Shaarawy will most likely return to the lineup at the beginning of March. The Italian will definitely miss the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 against Atletico Madrid.
