In an alarming incident during an Italian Serie A match played at San Siro Stadium in Milan, Parma's goalkeeper Edoardo Corvi suffered a severe injury after colliding with AC Milan's Ruben Loftus-Cheek. Just under ten minutes into the match, Corvi forcefully attempted to intercept a cross but instead struck Loftus-Cheek on the head, knocking the midfielder unconscious. The situation rapidly escalated as medical personnel rushed onto the field, and Loftus-Cheek was carried off on a stretcher, with his head and neck immobilized due to the seriousness of the injury.

Reports from ESPN confirmed that Loftus-Cheek was transported to the hospital where he was diagnosed with a concussion and considerable dental injuries, including several broken teeth. Sky Italia later reported that he fractured the alveolar bone that supports his teeth, necessitating surgical intervention. Doctors estimate that his recovery process may take several months, raising concerns about his participation in the ongoing season, as the impact could also influence AC Milan's overall performance in future games.

The match itself ended with a disappointing result for AC Milan, who were outplayed by the smaller club Parma, losing 1-0 after Mariano Troilo scored the sole goal. This defeat positioned Milan in second place in Serie A, but the loss, coupled with Loftus-Cheek's severe injury, cast a shadow over the team's aspirations and led to concerns about their ability to challenge for the league title, which is currently held by their local rivals. The incident and subsequent injury have sparked discussions about player safety and the need for further measures to protect athletes on the field.
