""For several months I've been playing with an ankle injury that hasn't allowed me to be 100% fit or feel comfortable on the pitch. With a great desire to continue helping the team, I continued to play, but the pain worsened, and the time has come to stop. Now I have to recover and prepare to return as soon as possible.""
""Gimenez hasn't played football since Atalanta-Milan on October 28th, a month and a half ago. He came off looking at his right ankle with a pained expression, and since then, he hasn't resolve the issue. However, by early December, Gimenez seemed to be feeling better. He wasn't in pain, trained on the pitch, and planned his return. It's no coincidence that Allegri said: \"The ankle is fine now.\" Instead, it isn't.""
AC Milan face uncertainty in attack ahead of the Supercoppa Italiana semi-final against Napoli due to Santiago Gimenez's persistent right ankle problem. Gimenez has not played since October 28 after leaving the Atalanta match with ankle pain. He admitted playing through the injury and stopping to recover after pain worsened. He appeared to improve in early December but remains unfit. Milan compare the situation to Marco van Basten's career-ending ankle surgery. Gimenez traveled to Amsterdam for a consultation with ankle specialist Professor Gino Kerkhoffs. A decision on conservative treatment or surgery will be made in the coming days.
