Matteo Gabbia lost a bit of ground in pre-season and it seemed AC Milan could sign another defender, but now his injury is keeping him out of the team.
Throughout the summer, Milan seemed keen to add another central centre-back to the squad. Goncalo Inacio was a big target, but he was not alone, showing how much Ruben Amorim wanted to add another name.

Unfortunately, this now looks to be a problem, with Gabbia expected to miss at least the next two games after being forced out of training earlier this week.
The Italian has struggled with an ankle injury – which briefly cropped up in the summer, too – and his 17 minutes played this season only further contribute to the notion that he wasn’t 100% for the start of the season.
Gabbia’s issue ‘difficult’
Unfortunately, the defender will completely miss the trip to Turin, it now seems, with Radio Rossonera reporting that he won’t be available. Worse than that, there is no estimated timeline for his return, with the ankle problem looking ‘difficult to resolve’.
He has previously travelled to games whilst injured, and he may do so again, but he certainly won’t be involved this weekend.
Perhaps this problem is why the Diavolo tried to sign Inacio late on deadline day. Either way, it now looks like even more of a mistake that another defender didn’t arrive.
This is why a CB is Milan must bring in January no excuse, we dont know when Gila and Pavlovic will stay healty 🤞
It’s okay we’ve got t0MoRi as a solid backup 👌
Is there anytime anything positive you have to say about Milan and the squad?
I think that garbled sentence is asking if I ever say anything positive about the team? The answer’s yes – you should read my comments instead of having a nervous breakdown every time I criticise mediocre deadwood like Estupinan RLC Gimenez and Tomori…but I know some fans like you are happy with mediocrity so there’s that…
My hero
😂 You can manage two-word sentences – nice 👌
It’s not worth the time discussing with someone who instantly gets on a kind of offensive layer.
Damn….
Haha says the guy who came at me over Gimenez a couple of weeks ago and now again about Tomori – you do realize I hadn’t said boo to you before this don’t you? Man what a bunch of goofs on here 🤦♂️
