AC Milan’s preparations for the upcoming Serie A fixture have been dealt a heavy setback after reports emerged that their high-profile summer signing, Ardon Jashari, has sustained a serious injury during training on Thursday morning (August 28, 2025).
The Swiss international midfielder, who only joined the Rossoneri a few weeks ago, was forced to stop training following a heavy collision. According to early indications, the injury may be more severe than initially feared — a worrying development for both the club and its supporters.
A Costly Setback for Milan’s Record Signing
Thіѕ nеwѕ іѕ a mаjоr blow fоr AC Milan, еѕресіаllу considering thе іnvеѕtmеnt made tо secure Jаѕhаrі’ѕ services. The сlub paid a hеftу €37 mіllіоn tо Club Bruggе, making hіm thе mоѕt еxреnѕіvе ѕіgnіng іn Serie A durіng thе 2025 ѕummеr transfer window. Mіlаn’ѕ management and fаnѕ hаd hіgh hореѕ thаt thе 23-уеаr-оld wоuld immediately establish hіmѕеlf аѕ the еngіnе оf the mіdfіеld.
However, those plans may now be put on hold. Italian outlets such as Sky Sport Italia, SportItalia, and La Gazzetta dello Sport have reported that Jashari may have suffered an injury to his fibula, which could sideline him for a significant period.
While Milan is awaiting the results of detailed medical tests, early reports suggest that the midfielder may be ruled out for at least two months if the injury turns out to be a fracture.
Allegri Confirms Jashari Will Miss Lecce Match
Milan head соасh Massimiliano Allegri addressed thе ѕіtuаtіоn іn hіѕ рrе-mаtсh рrеѕѕ соnfеrеnсе аhеаd of Frіdау night’s Sеrіе A сlаѕh аgаіnѕt Lессе. Allegri confirmed that Jashari would not be available and revealed the circumstances behind the injury.
“Jashari is a fantastic player, first and foremost,” Allegri said. “Unfortunately, he picked up an injury this morning after a challenge with Santiago Gimenez during training. He won’t be part of the squad tomorrow. He is a midfielder who can play just in front of the defense or in a double pivot, and we were counting on him a lot this season.”
His comments further fueled concerns that the absence may not just be a short-term one.
Rising Concerns Among Milan Supporters
Despite Allegri’s attempt to remain calm, Italian media outlets have painted a grimmer picture.
-
Sky Sport Italia suggested the injury could keep Jashari sidelined for an extended spell.
-
SportItalia went further, hinting that the midfielder may have actually fractured his fibula.
-
La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that even in the best-case scenario, Jashari would miss a minimum of two months of action.
For Milan, the timing of this setback is far from ideal. The Rossoneri have been building a squad capable of competing not only in Serie A but also in the UEFA Champions League. Losing their record signing at the very start of the campaign creates a tactical and psychological void, especially as Jashari was expected to dictate the tempo in midfield.
A Test of Depth and Resilience
This injury now forces Allegri to reassess his options. Without Jashari, Milan will likely turn to more experienced names in midfield while also giving opportunities to young talents. However, filling the gap left by a player of his quality will not be an easy task.
Moreover, Milan’s fanbase, who were excited to see their marquee signing transform the midfield, must now brace themselves for a period of uncertainty. The club’s ability to adapt and maintain momentum without Jashari will be crucial in the coming weeks.
Ardon Jashari’s injury is not just an unfortunate training ground incident — it is a serious early-season challenge for AC Milan. With the midfielder potentially sidelined for months, Milan’s ambitions in both domestic and European competitions may be tested far sooner than expected.
The club and its supporters now anxiously await the official medical update, hoping for the best but preparing for the possibility of being without their record signing well into the autumn.
