Santiago Gimenez

AC Milan
Serie A
GTD
Injury Ankle
Est. Return 8/23/2026
Suffers ankle injury
Gimenez had one off-target shot and completed two passes in 29 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 3-2 loss to England and sprained his right ankle, Sky Italy reported.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez subbed in and out following an awkward movement of the previously surgically repaired joint and quickly took the tests, which ruled out a fracture and revealed a significant sprain. He missed five months because of problems with the same ankle last season. He'll be assessed by the Milan doctor upon his return to determine his timetable. He closed the World Cup with no goals in four cameos and having logged just two shots (one on target) and two clearances in 82 minutes combined.
