Matteo Gabbia was forced to leave training early on Tuesday due to picking up an ankle issue, and he could miss the Juventus game.
According to MilanNews, Gabbia suffered an ankle problem – one described as being ‘more of a nuisance than anything else’ – in training today at Milanello. He underwent specific treatment and will attempt to recover using tomorrow’s day off.

Then, he hopes to return to training with the rest of the team on Thursday, ahead of the big game away against Juventus on Sunday. It’s the same ankle that prevented him from playing on the eve of the friendly against Manchester United in Wroclaw, the source claims.
It’s not a cause for concern, but clearly the situation will need to be monitored closely, especially given that the centre-back position is the subject of a lot of debate right now, in particular regarding whether there is sufficient depth.
Gabbia would have been battling for the middle CB spot with Koni De Winter. Mario Gila and Strahinja Pavlovic are the other starters, but – with Fikayo Tomori excluded from the plans – then it is up to the young duo of Sankoun Diawara and Valeri Vladimirov. They are next in line should an injury occur.
Great news, I’m not worried at all, even if Gila gets injured we have Terraciano and Vladimirov. Forza Milan and FY Gerry!
LOL
Milan management is sooo adamant. What if either pavlovic,de winter or gila also get injured. Will be doomed. A word to a wise is enough.
Stop the Tomori nonsense and bring him back in the squad.
What a nice fcking news
If Gila injuries too Imagine playing a kids from futuro and a player who never play in Ligue 1 against Malen or Lautaro
Good jobs Gerry ehh
Perfect timing. With hours left.
well this is why you have that one or two promising centre Backs from the youth squad. We want to give youths game time and complain when an opportunity presents itself
Diawara and Barte by the looks of it.
What if they don’t get injured? what if injury to one of our stars creates an opportunity for one of our youngsters to shine and announce themselves at the big stage?
The what ifs must not always be negative
Tomori still not part of plans? What happens when Gila goes off injured?
“ It’s not a cause for concern”….. isn’t that what they said about Santi’s ankle injury last fall (before he chose surgery) Look how that turned out.
