"AC Milan had strong fears that they would lose Strahinja Pavlovic for the rest of the season after what happened against Como. There has been a lot of attention drawn towards the challenge made by Van der Brempt in the first half of Milan's draw against Como on Wednesday night. Not even a card was given despite the fact the defender's studs connected with Pavlovic's shin."
"He sustained a 'large soft tissue hematoma and edematous-hemorrhagic imbibition of the fibula bone without cortical disruption'. It is effectively blood trapped in tissues, which causes swelling and a fair bit of pain. There was concern at San Siro on Wednesday evening, especially when Pavlovic needed to use the elevator to get down to where the players' cars are parked, and was unable to drive home."
Strahinja Pavlovic underwent medical checks that revealed a large soft tissue hematoma and edematous-hemorrhagic imbibition of the fibula bone without cortical disruption. The condition represents trapped blood in tissues, causing swelling and significant pain and temporarily prevented him from driving away after the match. The injury followed a studs-to-shin challenge by Van der Brempt in the first half that was not penalized. A fibula fracture appears ruled out, averting a season-ending prognosis, and Pavlovic is expected to be available for the Cremonese match following the Parma game. Club management expressed anger about the lack of punishment.
