No worries about Bebote. Santiago Gimenez returned from his commitments with Mexico, winner of the CONCACAF Nations League, with some physical discomfort. The forward, born in 2001, suffered an ankle issue of unknown severity.
The former Feyenoord player trained separately at Milanello today, but as revealed by the Italian journalist Luca Bianchin of Gazzetta, he will work with the group starting tomorrow to prepare for the next Serie A match between Napoli and AC Milan at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium.
The discomfort will not affect his availability for the match, and he will compete for a starting spot with English forward Tammy Abraham, who stayed with the rest of Sergio Conceição’s team during the break. Soon, we will know what Conceicao's decision will be.
What are Santiago Gimenez' numbers with AC Milan?
The 23-year-old Feyenoord centre-forward has made two appearances in the Champions League this season with the Rossoneri team, scoring one goal against his former team, Feyenoord. In the Serie A, he made seven appearances with two goals and one assist to his name. He also played in the Italian Cup competition, providing one assist in the process.
