Chelsea midfielder Van Ginkel suffers injury setback on AC Milan debut

Chelsea midfielder Marco van Ginkel has broken down on his debut for loan club AC Milan.

Van Ginkel was carried off on a stretcher just 30 minutes into his AC Milan debut against Empoli last night having joined the Italian giants on a season-long loan at the start of the month.

The Holland international sustained a problem to his right ankle and is undergoing a series of tests with Milan's medical department.

He suffered a serious knee ligament injury exactly 12 months ago against Swindon Town. It was just his second start for the club and didn't play again last season.
