AC Milan midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek was rushed to the hospital for emergency appendix surgery just hours before the team’s crucial Serie A match against Napoli. The 29-year-old experienced severe abdominal pain overnight at the team’s hotel in Naples, leading to a diagnosis of acute appendicitis and immediate surgery. Appendicitis can be dangerous if left untreated, as the appendix may burst.
Loftus-Cheek had recently returned from a muscle injury and was expected to play a key role in the match, especially with teammate Yunus Musah suspended. Despite his injury setbacks, he has made 22 appearances for AC Milan this season, contributing one assist.
