Centre-back set to undergo ankle surgery
AC Milan defender Mario Yepes is facing three months on the sidelines after it was decided he requires ankle surgery.
Scans have revealed the centre-back has suffered serious ligament damage after sustaining the problem in Milan's 2-2 draw with Bologna.
Colombia international Yepes is now set to undergo his operation in either Italy or Holland and the news comes as a serious setback for Milan.
The 35-year-old had started three of the past four matches for the defending Serie A champions, who could consider a replacement in the January transfer window.
Yepes' run in the team had come as a consequence of an injury to Italy international Alessandro Nesta.
