Kyle Walker Undergoes Elbow Surgery, Out for Serie A Season

Kyle Walker, the on-loan right-back from Manchester City, has undergone successful surgery for a fractured right elbow, leaving his return for the remainder of the Serie A season uncertain with only seven matches left. The surgery was performed in Milan to repair the olecranon, and while AC Milan has not provided a recovery timeline, the operation went as planned, and Walker will begin rehabilitation immediately. Since joining AC Milan in January, Walker has made a notable impact, leading in interceptions and possession wins among players with multiple league appearances. There is speculation that AC Milan may exercise their option to sign him permanently for approximately €5 million this summer, contingent on his fitness and performance. The team's current league position is precarious, sitting ninth and seven points off the top six, but they are still in contention for the Coppa Italia. Walker's decision to move to AC Milan was driven by a desire for a new challenge after an illustrious spell at Manchester City, where he was a key player.
