An update has arrived on the fitness of AC Milan’s two injured players, namely striker Santiago Gimenez and full-back Zachary Athekame.
After several games with a crippling injury crisis, Milan are slowly regaining their full strength. Against Inter, the Rossoneri were only missing Gimenez and Athekame with the treatment room now almost empty.
La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Radio Rossonera) state that Gimenez could return soon. He is targeting the match against Lazio as he continues to recover from an ankle injury, which the player himself announced after the match against Atalanta.
After a difficult start to the season, El Bebote had to sit out for medical treatment to resolve a long-standing issue. The fans and Massimiliano Allegri hope that the Mexican will return to form, considering he’s the only centre-forward in the squad.
It’s a different story for Athekame, who returned from his commitments with the Switzerland U21s with a sore calf. The news is not as positive, and the paper claims that there is a chance he will be sidelined until Christmas.
The injury for the Swiss international will force Alexis Saelemaekers to work overtime, also considering that there are Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana games to come.
