"We spoke with the doctor yesterday: a thorough evaluation will be carried out today and tomorrow to decide how to proceed. We must understand that the players belong to the clubs, not the national team, and the decision is up to the clubs. Whatever decision is made, it will be in time for the World Cup. What I said is what I know at the moment. We'll have more information this week."
"We'll have more information this week. We know he's having pain in his ankle and that a more thorough examination will be performed today to determine the next steps. He needs to stay calm and confident; he knows he can count on us for anything. Right now, there's still time to choose the best treatment and be ready for the World Cup."
Santiago Giménez has suffered an ankle injury that has already kept him out for almost two months and will require surgery that could extend his absence by a further two to three months. Initial expectations of a brief layoff were revised as pain persisted and deeper evaluation became necessary. The national team director confirmed medical assessments will determine the next steps and emphasized that clubs control treatment decisions while expressing confidence that Giménez can aim for World Cup readiness. A January transfer is possible, and the combination of injury and time lost may end his time at AC Milan.
