Mati Fernandez was forced to leave the pitch after just 10 minutes.
Mati arrived on the last moment of deadline on a paid loan with option to be bought next summer for a reported €1m and he has yet to set foot at Milanello.
The 30-year-old will be rejoined with coach Vincenzo Montella tomorrow but will directly go see the Milan doctors after picking up an injury last night.
Mati replaced Rodrigo Millar in the 53′ minute of the match between his side Chile and Bolivia (ended 0-0) but in the 63′ minute he was forced to be subbed out by Felipe Gutiérrez due to an injury. The extent of the hit will be evaluated tomorrow so at the moment Mati is in doubt for the Udinese match on Sunday.
In addition to Fernandez, Carlos Bacca was also in action during the night as he played 71 minutes in Colombia’s 2-1 defeat to Brazil. He’ll be back at Milanello tomorrow and should play from the start on Matchday 3.

dude, i never understand your comment. its one thing to have a injury prone van basten, completely different to have a player like mati. beside the game of football has changed completely changed from van basten era. we have seen from recent history, even the calibre of messi, ronaldo or robben while not 100% fit, can have really poor game and affect the team hugely. whats the point of having a player if you can’t play him now a days, players like wilshere, ramsay, pato, walcott, sturridge and many other really talented player are not getting a chance in top… Read more »
