Gimenez: Ankle Improving, But Caution Required
Santiago Gimenez has broken his silence on his physical condition. The Mexican striker has stated that his ankle is improving following the injury he sustained during the 2026 World Cup with the Mexico national team. The problem will keep him sidelined for some time yet and requires careful monitoring by the Rossoneri medical staff.
No Tour: Gimenez Stays at Milanello
As a direct consequence of the injury, the centre-forward will not travel with the squad on the pre-season tour. Gimenez will remain at Milanello to work individually on a personalised rehabilitation programme under the supervision of the club’s medical team. A cautious and necessary approach to ensure a full and proper return to fitness.
Christian Pulisic is in a similar situation — the American also picked up an injury at the World Cup and will stay behind at Milanello for his individual recovery, missing the pre-season tour. One of the most important players in the Rossoneri squad, the former Chelsea man will be monitored with the same care as his Mexican teammate.
Controlled Optimism
Gimenez shared a brief but positive summary of his World Cup experience, suggesting that his recovery is heading in the right direction. It is still too early to set a precise return date, but the signs are encouraging. Milan’s medical staff will follow the evolution of his condition very closely over the coming weeks.
The Mexican striker, who joined Milan in the January transfer window, has already proved to be a valuable asset in the Rossoneri’s attacking line. His return to full fitness is considered a priority by Ruben Amorim, who will undoubtedly count on him as the central reference point of the attack in the 2026-27 season.
