Milan, Gimenez explains: “I’ve had an ankle injury for months”

“For several months I have been playing with an ankle injury that has not allowed me to be at 100%, nor to feel comfortable on the pitch. With a great desire to continue helping the team, I continued to play but the pain started to increase and the time had come to stop. Now I have to recover and prepare to return as soon as possible.” Santiago Gimenez appeared on social media late in the evening to send two messages to the world.

the explanation

The first message is an explanation of the difficulties of these months. Probably affected by the criticism, Gimenez specified that he had been in difficulty for some time, that he had played on pain. Last Tuesday this ankle problem forced him to leave the match against Atalanta, on Sunday it denied him the direct clash against Roma. The problem, however, is evidently older.

the absence

—

In the message, Gimenez also clearly says that he will not return to the field on Saturday in Parma: too soon. And he won’t even be in the national team, with Mexico expected to play friendlies against Mexico and Paraguay. A certain absence for Max Allegri, who could play again with Leao and Nkunku together in Parma. No national team also for Christian Pulisic, still far from 100%. The situation needs to be understood – Rabiot, who Deschamps included among the pre-summit squad for the November break but could save money, considering the Duke’s calf problems.
