Mexico national team striker Santiago Gimenez’s nightmare season continues as it was confirmed he will undergo ankle surgery to fix an injury that has sidelined him since October.
Gimenez revealed in late October that he’d been playing through ankle pain for months before the discomfort worsened and he decided to stop. Originally, reports indicated he was set to miss around five weeks, but AC Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri revealed on Tuesday that surgery is required to get Gimenez back to full fitness.
