AC Milan will be without Pippo Inzaghi for around 20 days, as the striker is suffering from an inguinal hernia.
The 34-year-old missed the weekend win over Empoli with the problem, and after a number of medical tests he has been diagnosed with an inguinal hernia.
Fortunately for SuperPippo, he will not require surgery to correct the problem, and will just undergo a 20-day period of rest, therapy and some exercises.
Doctors believe Inzaghi picked up the problem due to a physical imbalance in his body resulting from a recent ankle injury.
He will miss this weekend’s big match with Roma at the Stadio Olimpico, as well as the games with Sampdoria, Torino and Atalanta.
The prolific goalscorer should be fit enough to return for the home clash with Cagliari on April 6.
Milan have been hit hard by problems in the striking department this season, with Inzaghi and Ronaldo missing large portions of the season through injury, and Alberto Gilardino continually misfiring.
The Rossoneri are currently in fifth place in Serie A, one point behind Fiorentina in the fourth and final Champions League position.

Are we going to see more of Paloschi? I am hoping so.
