Ruben Loftus-Cheek
30-Year-Old
AC Milan
Serie A
GTD
Injury Face
Est. Return 4/6/2026
Set to return versus Napoli
Loftus-Cheek (jaw) has resumed training regularly early in the break and should have no issues being available against Napoli on April 6, Tuttomercatoweb reported.
ANALYSIS
Loftus-Cheek has been able to recover more quickly than initially anticipated and should be back with the squad after the break, after sitting out the last four matches. He'll compete with Youssouf Fofana and Samuele Ricci in the midfield and will be in the mix to play in the attack if Rafael Leao (groin) misses more time, although Santiago Gimenez has recovered and Christian Pulisic is now healthier compared to his previous run of appearances in such a role. Loftus-Cheek has scored twice in his last six outings, adding five shots (two on target), one cross (zero accurate) and two tackles (one won).

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Target for Aston Villa
Aston Villa are keen on making a move for Loftus-Cheek, according to The Telegraph.
ANALYSIS
Aston Villa need to sign a new midfielder in the January transfer window, and the 29-year-old has risen to the top of the club's shortlist due to his previous experience in the Premier League. Villa's need to sign a new central midfielder comes due to the absence of Boubacar Kamara, who sustained a serious knee injury earlier this month.
