Gimenez doubtful for the derby
On Thursday, November 20, the much-awaited Milan derby approaches. In yesterday’s training, young striker Santiago Gimenez did not participate, raising doubts about his availability for the match against Inter. If he does not join the group today, a withdrawal seems likely, disappointing many Rossoneri fans.
The story of Modric in a derby
Meanwhile, yesterday’s training saw Luka Modric returning to the Milanello Sports Center after national team commitments. This derby is particularly significant for him: not only is it his first in Milan, but it’s also a great opportunity for him to shine. With a long career at Real Madrid and many derbies played against Atlético, Modric has always stood out for his talent, creating key assists. Milan fans are excited to see how he will perform in this new context.
New dynamics for Inter and Milan
This derby also marks Chivu’s debut as Inter’s coach and Allegri’s return after 12 years. Additionally, it will be the first match played in a stadium owned by both clubs, an important change after years of municipal management. The construction of a new facility by 2031 is another step toward the future of Milanese football.
Recoveries and market
Good news regarding recoveries: Rabiot and Pulisic return to the squad, providing Milan with potential reinforcements for the challenge. Meanwhile, market rumors have been circulating about a possible return of Thiago Silva to Milan, although the club has denied these claims. Silva has a contract with Fluminense until June 2026, making an imminent departure unlikely.
In conclusion, the Milan derby promises emotions and significance. The Rossoneri are ready to fight for victory, and fans can continue to dream of a great future!
