Santiago Giménez Halts Play for Ankle Rehab, Set to Miss Milan and Mexico Games

He will pursue a non-surgical program for an ankle hematoma, with reports suggesting a multi-week layoff.

Overview

  • Giménez announced he has been playing through ankle pain for months and will stop to recover from what coverage describes as a hematoma.
  • AC Milan has not issued a firm timeline, while multiple reports estimate roughly five weeks out as he follows a conservative plan similar to Erling Haaland’s, with no surgery planned per his father and a journalist.
  • He already missed the win over Roma and is expected to sit out the Parma match, plus Mexico’s November fixtures against Uruguay and Paraguay.
  • Coach Massimiliano Allegri said the forward is in rehabilitation and any return depends on progress, after initially expressing hope of having him for Parma.
  • His underwhelming season—one goal in 11 games—has been linked to recurring injuries since 2024 that cost him about 20 matches, and his absence could open a national-team opportunity for Chivas striker Armando ‘Hormiga’ González according to reports.
