Milik has scored 34 goals and provided 5 assists in 87 games since his arrival from Ajax in the summer of 2016, but his missed a shocking 52 games due to a variety of injuries.
 
First, the striker injured the front cruciate ligament of his left knee during an international break only two months after signing with Napoli, missing four months of action to recover. Then, a year later on September 23, 2017 against SPAL, Milik injured the front cruciate of his right knee, taking six months to recover and missing the majority of the season.
 
Now, the Polish forward is injured again. According to Naples based newspaper Il Mattino via Calciomercato.com, coach Carlo Ancelotti is worried about the forward’s recovery time after an injury in a pre-season tournament in America.
