MN: Milan breathe sigh of relief as scans rule out serious injury for Gabbia – the latest

Matteo Gabbia has undergone scans on his knee this morning after limping off during the draw with Sassuolo on Sunday.

There was a lot of worry about Gabbia’s knee when he dropped to the floor following a duel inside the box in the 55th minute, and he received treatment by the medical staff immediately after. He tried to play on but was ultimately unable to, being replaced by Koni De Winter.

Massimiliano Allegri confirmed after the game that he would undergo a scan to understand the extent of any damage. Given the delicate nature of the area impacted, there was certainly a lot of anxiety about the outcome.

Serious damage ruled out

According to what is being circulated by the club, Gabbia suffered a hyperextension injury to his left knee. Clinical and instrumental tests performed on Monday morning have ruled out capsular ligament and meniscal injuries.

What this means regarding his possible participation in the Supercoppa Italiana semi-final against Napoli on Thursday is unknown at present. However, the fact that any kind of serious injury appears to have been ruled out is certainly a positive, especially given how reliable the Italian has been.
