Manchester City loanee Kyle Walker out with elbow injury

AC Milan defender Kyle Walker is set for a spell on the sidelines following surgery on a fractured elbow.

The 34-year-old England international sustained the injury during training and has subsequently had an operation.

"To ensure better healing and optimise recovery time, the player underwent surgery in Milan," the Serie A club said in a statement on their website.

"The operation went perfectly to plan. Kyle will begin rehabilitation immediately."

Walker moved to Milan in January on loan until the end of the season after falling out of favour under Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.

He has made 12 appearances in all competitions for the Rossoneri, who are currently ninth in Serie A but in the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia.

Milan's deal for Walker includes an option to buy the right-back when his loan deal comes to an end.
