AC Milan's Riccardo Montolivo: Out for about six months with knee injury

Montolivo will undergo a knee surgery and will be sidelined for about six months, according to Marca.

Analysis:

Montolivo was stretchered off the field during Italy's World Cup qualifying draw to Spain with the ailment and is set to miss an extended period. The Milan's skipper was having a very solid season, though, he wasn't much of a fantasy factor in most formats. In the midfielder's absence Manuel Locatelli, Andrea Poli and Andrea Bertolacci are expected to see their playing roles expanded.
