Milan ace Ronaldinho could be out for up to a month after suffering a suspected muscular strain in his quadriceps, according to Il Corriere dello Sport.

The news means he will almost certainly be ruled out of the weekend's trip to London for the Emirates Cup friendly tournament.

Ronaldinho had to abandon training on Wednesday night after he complained of feeling a twitch in one of his flexor muscles, and it doesn't look good.

Voices from Milan suggest he will have a scan later to determine the extent of the injury. The Rossoneri have stayed quiet over the damage, but their official website did confirm the player will have to undergo further medical tests.

Speculative reports suggest he could even be ruled out for up to a month, putting Milan's preparations for the new season, which kicks off at home to Lecce on the weekend of August 28/29, under strain.
