Ruben Loftus-Cheek took to social media to update fans on his health status, while also highlighting the devastating impact of the collision that resulted in him being carried off on a stretcher during AC Milan’s game against Parma.<\/p>\n
The 30-year-old midfielder was injured in Sunday’s Serie A match when he collided with Parma goalkeeper Edoardo Corbi while attempting a cross. Loftus-Cheek was wearing a head and neck brace and required lengthy treatment before being taken to hospital, where it was reported that she had broken her jaw and several teeth.<\/p>\n
Ms Loftus-Cheek shared a photo of herself after the incident, which left her with a swollen lip and a chipped front tooth, as well as an update on her progress following emergency surgery.<\/p>\n
“It was a terrible blow but the worst is behind us,” the former Chelsea midfielder wrote in a post on his Instagram account.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to sincerely thank all the medical staff who have supported me with professionalism and care over the last few hours.<\/p>\n
“A special thank you to all my fans who have sent me countless messages of love and support. I have read those messages and they have given me incredible strength.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you to my teammates. We are a team and a family.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow, let us unite and move forward together toward our goals.\u201d<\/p>\n
AC Milan released a statement after the 1-0 loss. “AC Milan announced yesterday that Ruben Loftus-Cheek has suffered significant facial trauma, resulting in a fracture of the alveolar process of his jaw.<\/p>\n
“The player was admitted to the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery and Dentistry at the Santi Paolo e Carlo ASST, where he underwent surgery today by Dr. Luca Autelitano.<\/p>\n
“The surgery to reduce and stabilize the fracture was completely successful. Ruben is in good condition and has been discharged from hospital.”<\/p>\n
Estimated recovery time is approximately 8 weeks. \u201d<\/p>\n
Loftus-Cheek is currently on the mend, but the injury and subsequent layoff (estimated to be around two months) could have a negative impact on England’s chances of making the World Cup squad.<\/p>\n
The AC Milan star was thought to be a candidate to travel to the United States, Canada and Mexico with the Three Lions in June after being given an international recall by manager Thomas Tuchel in October.<\/p>\n
His substitute appearance against Wales was England’s first appearance in over seven years.<\/p>\n
