"After that day, however, the Mexican striker's ordeal began, as he was sidelined for a long time due to an ankle injury. Conservative therapy was initially attempted, but it didn't work, and so in mid-December he underwent surgery to permanently resolve the problem."
"On Sunday, Gimenez will have a great chance from the start and prove he can still be useful to Milan in this final part of the season, and perhaps also the future."
"The former Feyenoord star is without a goal in Serie A so far in 2025-26. He has scored just one goal this season in the Coppa Italia against Lecce, and he hasn't found the net in the Italian top flight for a year."
AC Milan faces Atalanta at San Siro on Sunday with significant pressure to reverse recent poor form and secure Champions League qualification. The club requires six points from three remaining games. Manager Massimiliano Allegri plans tactical changes, notably reintroducing Santiago Gimenez to the starting lineup for the first time since October 28th. The Mexican striker has endured a difficult period, suffering an ankle injury requiring surgery in mid-December before returning in March. Despite limited appearances since his comeback, Gimenez remains goalless in Serie A for the 2025-26 season, with his last league goal coming on May 9, 2025, against Bologna. Sunday's match presents a crucial opportunity for Gimenez to prove his value during this critical period.
