"Yesterday, as anticipated by Massimiliano Allegri during the pre-Inter press conference, Gimenez returned to training with the rest of the team after several months on the sidelines. In fact, he hasn't played since October 28th and thus will need a little bit of time to regain full fitness."
"The contribution of Milan's strikers hasn't been great lately, considering that in the last 12 league games, the status is the following: Christian Pulisic with one goal, Niclas Fullkrug with one goal, Christopher Nkunku with three goals, and Rafael Leao with four."
"Gimenez scored a lot of goals at Feyenoord and thus knows how to find the back of the net. At Milan, however, he hasn't been able to live up to the €30m price tag just yet. The season finale thus isn't just important to send a signal ahead of the World Cup, but also to prove he should stay."
Santiago Gimenez has returned to group training at Milanello after several months sidelined with an ankle injury, having last played on October 28th. He is expected to travel with the squad for the upcoming match against Lazio and will likely feature against Torino. Milan's strikers have underperformed recently, with limited goal contributions across the squad. Gimenez, who scored prolifically at Feyenoord, has struggled to justify his €30m price tag at Milan. The final ten games of the season are crucial for him to demonstrate his worth, prove he should remain at the club, and send a positive signal ahead of the World Cup. His teammates welcomed him back warmly, and he appears determined to overcome his injury setback.
