The club veteran defender suffered an injury, which will force him to watch his team's friends play from the sidelines for 6 weeks. The footballer's meniscus was damaged.

The Italian representing "Milan" in the 23rd season will most likely undergo surgery due to the deteriorating condition of his left knee. The defender will undergo additional examinations, but it is unlikely that he will avoid surgery.

The former long-time player of the Italian national team will be treated by orthopedic specialist Marcas Martensas, who operated on the player who has become a symbol of the "Milan" club last season.

P.Maldini has been struggling with knee problems for some time now, and there have even been speculations that due to these problems, the footballer may have to bid farewell to the sport.
