Boateng out for four weeks

AC Milan midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng will be sidelined for at least four weeks with a thigh injury, the club have confirmed. The Ghana player picked up the injury during last weekend's 1-0 defeat to Inter Milan. A statement from AC Milan read: "Boateng has sustained a muscular lesion in his left thigh and the estimated time of recovery is around four weeks, unless there are complications." The 24-year-old will miss a total of eight games, including Milan's UEFA Champions League last 16 home leg against Arsenal on 15 February. Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri will be hoping to recover Boateng in time for Milan's Serie A game against Juventus on 26 February.
