Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Jarell Quansah called up to England squad

Italian football journalist Daniele Verri said after a promising first season at AC Milan, Loftus-Cheek’s second was a “disaster”.

“He was always injured. He played until the beginning of December when he got injured, then basically came back at the end of April. He had muscular problems throughout the season, his appendix was removed.

“For him, it was a disaster because he was out all the time, the club was going through a terrible season with managerial changes, so he never had continuity.

“He has started well this season and he scored at the weekend in Lecce. He is still a player who has to be seen in Italy – he hasn’t showed the best of himself yet.

“Manager Massimiliano Allegri recently said that he and Youssouf Fofana have 15 goals to bring to the team between them, so let’s see if he is right.

“Allegri will count on him for sure, he has played in both games so far. He has potential, but he has also shown in Italy he is very prone to injuries. If he stays fit, he is a player who has quality.”
