In recent months, Gimenez has felt pain in his ankle and has struggled to play: a feeling of insecurity has not left him at peace. On November 5th he published a message on his Instagram profile: “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 has been increasing and the time has come to stop.

Max Allegri a week ago, not by chance, declared the case closed: “We hope that Gimenez will return to training with the team this week, the ankle is now fine”. The last few days, however, have brought new concerns.
