Lecce, Ilic sidelined: the medical bulletin and recovery timetable

Injury for the Salentini midfielder

Serbian midfielder Ilic came off in the first half against Bologna, leaving Lecce with an injury concern. An MRI scan this morning revealed an injury to the rectus femoris muscle in his left thigh. The grade has not been specified, so his recovery time will depend on the extent of the injury. He could be sidelined for at least two weeks, but a deeper injury could keep him out longer.

Lecce's medical update: "U.S. Lecce announce that player Ivan Ilić underwent an MRI scan at the Studio Radiologico 'Quarta Colosso' in Lecce, which revealed an injury to the rectus femoris muscle in his left thigh."
