Legendary AC Milan defender Baresi has surgery for nodule

Milan and Italy legend Franco Baresi has undergone surgery to remove a pulmonary nodule and will begin a course of immunotherapy.

The 65-year-old is still working with the Rossoneri as an Honorary Vice President, which is why the club released a formal statement on his situation.

He was found to have a pulmonary nodule, which was removed with a minimally invasive surgical procedure, and his recovery has been free of complications.

An oncology specialist suggested a consolidative course of immunotherapy.
