Watch: Gabbia seen limping after Milan vs. Sassuolo – the latest on his knee

Matteo Gabbia was forced to leave the pitch in the second half of AC Milan’s 2-2 draw against Sassuolo, now at risk of missing the Supercoppa Italiana in Saudi Arabia. 

It was in the 55th minute that Gabbia’s knee seemingly ‘popped’, following a duel inside the box, and he received treatment by the medical staff immediately after. He tried to play on but pretty quickly, he signalled for a substitution.

Now, as reported by MilanNews, Milan will have to carry out further tests on Gabbia’s knee. These have been scheduled for tomorrow and there is more urgency than usual, as the Rossoneri will fly to Riyadh on Tuesday for the Supercoppa Italiana.

Whether Gabbia will be able to board the plane will depend entirely on the results of the tests, in other words. Initial indications suggest that the knee is at least ‘stable’, which should be a reassuring update, but we cannot say anything for sure until tomorrow.

The defender was seen limping in the mixed zone after the game, though that could just be because of temporary swelling or bruising. If it’s a long absence, the Rossoneri will also be forced to intervene on the January transfer market.
