The match against Sassuolo brought more than just disappointment over the comeback Milan conceded at the Mapei Stadium. There is also the situation surrounding Matteo Gabbia, who was stretchered off in the 20th minute of the first half.
The centre-back underwent instrumental tests yesterday, which revealed a tear in the flexor muscle of his left thigh, with partial tendon involvement. It remains to be seen whether he will undergo conservative treatment or require surgery, but one thing is certain: Gabbia’s 2026 playing year is over.
The defender nevertheless wanted to share a message on Instagram for everyone at the club and the fans, thanking them for their support during an extremely difficult time.
Gabbia's message after his injury
“Today is a really difficult day. I am truly sorry that I cannot help the team during this very important stage of the season. I will do everything I can to return in the best possible condition and as soon as possible, back alongside my team-mates, wearing the Rossoneri shirt. A BIG thank you to my family, the club, the staff and my team-mates for being there for me. Of course, thank you also to all of you, the fans, who are always there and always by our side. See you soon at San Siro!!! Forza Milan, ALWAYS.”
