Dressing room video deepens concerns about France’s handling of Rabiot

A video has emerged which casts more doubt on France’s handling of Adrien Rabiot during the international break.

After being left annoyed by how Christian Pulisic was handled, Milan are also not happy with the lack of caution regarding Rabiot, at least as per reports that came out of France the morning after Thursday’s news that he faces a month out.

Rabiot played both games against Azerbaijan and Iceland during the break, despite picking up a ‘knock’ against the former that has turned into a muscle tear. Now, a video from half-time in the dressing room of the Iceland match has shown the midfielder’s calf being insistently massaged.

It is hard to tell because of the grainy nature of the footage but it looks like Rabiot is grimacing in pain a bit too. He would go back out onto the field for 25 more minutes, before coming off with what has turned out to be a torn muscle.

Fine primo tempo contro Azerbaijan.

Magari non significa niente, ma si vede chiaramente che viene massaggiato con insistenza il polpaccio di Rabiot.

Adrien rientrerà in campo e uscirà poi al 70’.@MilanVibesHQ
