According to what La Gazzetta dello Sport reports this morning, Santiago Gimenez is in serious doubt for Sunday evening’s match against Atalanta: even yesterday, the Mexican trained separately as he is still in pain on his left side after the hard knock he took two weeks ago in the match against Fiorentina.
Between today and Saturday, the Milan striker is expected to return to group training, but he is lacking match fitness. Sergio Conceição will have to decide whether to still bring him to the bench against the Bergamaschi or to include him among the squad for the Coppa Italia derby.
On Sunday against Atalanta, there will certainly be three absentees in the Rossoneri ranks, while in these days, besides Gimenez, the condition of Mike Maignan also needs to be assessed:
- Emerson Royal: high-grade distraction injury of the right calf.
- Kyle Walker: fracture of the right elbow. The recovery is going well and he could return sooner than expected.
- Ruben Loftus-Cheek: laparoscopic surgical procedure for appendectomy, due to acute appendicitis with abscess formation.
