Throughout the past few months, the words ‘at risk’ have often applied to Santiago Gimenez. Now, they are once again true for the AC Milan striker.
In the mercato, Gimenez was one of the biggest maybes that Milan had. Until the final hours of the mercato, he was between the staying and going camps. Of course, he now remains a Rossonero, but he has yet to convince.
Massimiliano Allegri continues to be left impressed by the Mexican. However, he has not scored yet, even if the effort is there. It is a case of confidence, and the Italian may look to another solution this weekend.
Three for two
That solution, as Quotidiano Sportivo writes this morning, could be dropping him. As MilanNews relays, the striker is ‘at risk’ for the game, with Christian Pulisic and Christopher Nkunku both ready for the game.
Nkunku’s impact from the bench was noticeable, but whether he is ready for 60 or even 90 minutes remains to be seen.
It could well be a case of him coming from the bench once again, with Pulisic perhaps supporting his North American teammate. Perhaps, Allegri will take a risk. Either way, time could be running out for Gimenez as a starter. An impact, therefore, is needed.
