"His rehabilitation is progressing smoothly, raising Massimiliano Allegri's hopes of having his number nine back soon. The moment of truth is set for next week, when the Mexican will undergo a specialist medical check-up to see how he is getting along."
"If the medical team's opinion is favourable, the Milan coaching staff will finally be able to draw up a timetable for the former Feyenoord star's return to full training. The goal is to gradually reintegrate him to avoid relapses, but the feeling is that a return to playing football is not that far away."
"For Gimenez, there will also be the personal desire to start repaying the €30m+ investment that the Rossoneri made just over one year ago. He also wishes to prove that he deserves a place at the team of his heart beyond the summer amid all the exit talk."
Santiago Gimenez has endured a challenging 2025-26 season due to a serious ankle injury requiring surgery in mid-December. His rehabilitation is progressing well, with Massimiliano Allegri optimistic about his imminent return. A specialist medical evaluation scheduled for next week will determine whether the Mexican striker can begin full training with a gradual reintegration plan to prevent relapses. His recovery arrives at a critical juncture as Milan pursues Champions League qualification and seeks to strengthen its attacking options. Gimenez aims to justify the €30m+ investment made over a year ago and secure his long-term future at the club amid speculation about his departure.
