AC Milan have a fresh injury concern after Santiago Gimenez was forced off during Mexico's World Cup defeat to England.

What happened?

Gimenez suffered a right ankle injury without any contact from England's Djed Spence. The player was forced to leave the field during the final stages of the game and went to hospital for tests. The test results ruled out a fracture and diagnosed a sprain, a relatively encouraging outcome, but one that occurs on an ankle with a recent history of injuries.

Why it matters for AC Milan

AC Milan are currently 5th in Serie A with 70 points, 17 points behind leaders Inter, and cannot afford to lose any more key players. The Rossoneri recently lost to Cagliari with a score of 1-2 on May 24, 2026. AC Milan's recent form has been disappointing, with only one win in their last five games.

What comes next?

AC Milan will have to carefully assess Gimenez's condition once the player returns to Milan. The Rossoneri need all their key players to try to improve their position in the standings. With 53 goals scored and 35 conceded, AC Milan have a goal difference of +18, but need to improve their form to achieve their goals
