Santiago Gimenez - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Will have surgery "Gimenez will go under the knife, as the pain has returned even though the conservative therapy seemed to have worked at first," coach Massimiliano Allegri announced.

Impact Gimenez has been dealing with an ankle injury since late October, and the timetable for his return has been pushed back a few times, leading to the decision to get the surgery to address the problem for good. He's expected to be out for another six to eight weeks. Christian Pulisic, Rafael Leao and Christopher Nkunku will form the two-man frontline for the foreseeable future.

Sidelined for Sassuolo game Gimenez (ankle) "is improving and will try to return as soon as possible, but he won't be called up for Sunday" coach Massimiliano Allegri announced.

Impact Gimenez will skip another contest even though he seemed close, and it has yet to be determined whether he'll make the trip to Saudi Arabia for the Supercoppa next week. He'll have a fortnight to recuperate ahead of the next Serie A game against Verona on December 28. With Rafael Leao (thigh) on the shelf, Christian Pulisic and Christopher Nkunku will form the frontline against Sassuolo.

Will not return Monday Gimenez (ankle) "is in better shape, and we hope to re-integrate him fully ahead of the Sassuolo game," coach Massimiliano Allegri stated.

Impact Gimenez is believed to be pain-free, but his timetable has been delayed by at least another week, as he was expected back for this one. With Christian Pulisic (illness) in doubt, Christopher Nkunku will likely partner with Rafael Pulisic again.

Expected back for Torino tilt Gimenez (ankle) "should resume training with his teammates next week," coach Massimiliano Allegri announced.

Impact Gimenez will skip his fourth match in a row against Lazio, but he should return for the following one versus Torino if everything goes to plan. If Christian Pulisic (thigh) is out, either Christopher Nkunku or Ruben Loftus-Cheek will partner with Rafael Leao.

NOVEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Missing versus Inter Gimenez (ankle) will remain unavailable for Sunday's match against Inter, coach Massimiliano Allegri announced.

Impact Gimenez hasn't progressed enough from an ankle sprain and will skip his third contest in a row. Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic will likely get the nod up front, with Christopher Nkunku and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are the deputies.

Will miss more time Gimenez stated on Instagram that he's been playing through an ankle problem for several months and that he'd take some time off to heal fully.

Impact Gimenez sat out the last game as the problem resurfaced and will skip the next tilt versus Parma and international duties to try recovering once and for all. He'll be re-evaluated ahead of the Inter clash on November 23rd. Milan will lean on Rafael Leao and Christopher Nkunku sans him.

Ruled out for Roma tilt Gimenez (ankle) hasn't been called up for Sunday's clash with Roma, Goal reported.

Impact Gimenez isn't dealing with a serious injury, but hasn't practiced enough in training to be an option. Christopher Nkunku and Rafael Leao (hip) are currently considered the frontrunners to start, although Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Alexis Saelemaekers can also play up front in a pinch.

Dealing with a knock Gimenez left early versus Atalanta due to an ankle contusion, coach Massimiliano Allegri relayed.

Impact Gimenez got dinged up in a tackle and couldn't continue. He was substituted by Ruben Loftus-Cheek since Christopher Nkunku had already entered the game for Rafael Leao (hip). He'll have a few days to shake it off ahead of Sunday's game versus Roma.

Injured against Atalanta Gimenez was brought off with an apparent injury during Tuesday's clash with Atalanta.

Impact Gimenez was injured early in the second half and forced off. He was replaced by Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who is returning from an injury of his own. Gimenez has been a constant in the strike-pairing and would be a major blow if ruled out. His first chance to return is a Sunday clash with Roma.

Struggles in draw Gimenez had three shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Juventus.

Impact Gimenez took three shots and even put one on goal, but failed to do much more during Sunday's draw. Gimenez has excellent upside and is part of one of the better attacks in the country, but Juventus have proven to be hard for many teams to break down. Gimenez should be back in with goalscoring chances after the international break.

Santiago Gimenez Amid AC Milan Struggles: 'I never thought about leaving'

Takes five shots, can't score Gimenez generated five shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 win versus Bologna.

Impact Gimenez has yet to find the back of the net this season, but the Mexican is due to score sooner rather than later. He's started in every game so far and is averaging 4.0 shots and 0.7 chances created per match. Gimenez will aim to open his personal account against Udinese on Saturday.

Takes three shots in win Gimenez had three shots (one on target) and created one chance during Friday's 2-0 win over Lecce.

Impact Gimenez was one of his team's biggest threats during the first half but couldn't keep it up during the second frame, especially after the hour mark. The forward racked up seven shots over the first two matches of the campaign but is still to open his scoring account but the lack of depth at his position will certainly allow him to have a lot of chances in the lineup after the international break.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Four shots in opener Gimenez had four shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Cremonese.

Impact Gimenez began the season up top for Milan and saw plenty of chances at goal, but put just one on target. He also managed just seven passes despite playing the full 90 minutes.

Sees red early against Roma Gimenez was sent off with a straight red card in the 21st minute of Sunday's 1-1 draw against Roma.

Impact Gimenez didn't record starts before his early removal for hitting an opponent in the chest with an elbow away from the ball. He'll close his Milan spell for this season with six goals, two assists, 26 shots (11 on target) and nine key passes in 16 appearances (nine starts), failing to produce and play as much as at Feyenoord. Luka Jovic or Tammy Abraham will start against Monza.
