Milan, Gabbia suffers a flexor injury: tendon involved, back in 2027

AC Milan face an injury concern over Matteo Gabbia. Scans on the AC Milan defender today revealed an injury to the flexor muscle of his left thigh, with partial tendon involvement. Further assessments will be needed to determine the precise course of his recovery.

The consultation and the timescales

The AC Milan captain is out with a muscle problem in his left thigh. Tests have revealed an injury with partial tendon involvement, and he needs a specialist consultation to determine the course of treatment. Only after that consultation will the treatment recommendations become clear and the recovery process and timescale come into focus.

The specialist consultation

Milan have yet to announce an official recovery timeframe for Matteo Gabbia. The partial involvement of the tendon needs further investigation before anyone can reliably predict his return to action. Milan must therefore wait for the specialist's opinion to assess how much rehabilitation he needs and establish when the defender will be available to Amorim again.

The statement

AC Milan announced: "Matteo Gabbia underwent scans this afternoon that revealed an injury to the flexor muscle in his left thigh, with partial tendon involvement. The player will have a specialist consultation in the coming days to determine the most appropriate course of treatment".

The return

A consultation with a specialist will determine whether Gabbia needs surgery or whether conservative treatment is an option. Either way, the AC Milan centre-back's 2026 is over: he is expected to return in 2027.
