Okafor issues update on flexor injury: “I hope it’s not serious”

Noah Okafor has commented on his social media about the injury that he suffered during today’s 3-0 win over Monza in which he netted the third goal.

Inside the final 20 minutes, Milan put the game to bed with a beautiful team move. Okafor had been unlucky not to score moments earlier with a curling shot that was saved.

He wasn’t to be denied a second time as Reijnders beat Akpa Akpro and fed Giroud who flicked it into the path of the Swiss forward who swept in with his right boot past Di Gregorio.

However, Okafor wouldn’t have long to enjoy his goal as he pulled up with what looked like a hamstring injury, forcing him off with Samuel Chukwueze coming on in his place.

As MilanNews report, Okafor commented on his Instagram profile about the muscle problem that he seemed to sustain: “I hope it’s not serious, just a small flexor problem. I hope to return as soon as possible.”
