Milan midfield maestro Gennaro Gattuso is likely to be ruled out for at least six months after damaging knee ligaments against Catania.

It's a huge blow for Milan who have been coping with several injuries. Gattuso underwent further tests at Milan lab on Tuesday and it's not good news.

A statement on the club's official website reads:

"A.C Milan would like to communicate that Gennaro Gattuso has undergone a scan following the injury he sustained against Catania.

"The results of the tests have revealed an injury to his anterior cruciate ligament.

"Gattuso was accompanied by Milan club doctor Jean Pierre Meersseman and he will undergo further controls on Wednesday."

It's unknown as to whether or not the player needs to go under the knife but Sky Sport Italia claims the injury will keep Gattuso out for at least six months.

It couldn't come at a worse time for coach Carlo Ancelotti with a game against Juventus on the weekend.
