Hard blow for Adrien Rabiot. Called up by Didier Deschamps for the October international break, the midfielder played 70 minutes against Azerbaijan, scoring a goal, before being left on the bench against Iceland. The coach revealed in a pre-match conference that Rabiot had received “a blow”, suggesting that his condition was not optimal.
If it didn't seem serious at first, AC Milan yesterday gave worrying news about its summer recruit. The Rossoneri have announced that the Frenchman is suffering from a soleus (calf) muscle injury following further medical examinations. It will be re-evaluated in around ten days, while several local media, including the
Gazzetta dello Sportmention an absence of around a month.
This situation is enough to irritate the Milanese, reports
Eurosport. The club does not understand why Rabiot made the trip to Iceland and believes that the French staff have “minimized” the glitch of the former Parisian. “How could he be on the bench against Iceland on Monday if he had an injury? »railed a club source to our colleagues.
“Like Mbappé”
There Gazzetta dello Sport also questions the management of the Rabiot case. “Back at Milanello on Wednesday, Rabiot had an MRI… This discomfort prompted Deschamps to leave him on the bench for the second match, but not to send him home prematurely like Mbappé”explains the daily. The player would like to return quickly, but AC Milan prefers caution.
THE Corriere dello Sport goes in the same direction and denounces too superficial management of Milan players by their selections, citing in particular Rabiot and Christian Pulisic, injured with the United States. After PSG and Real Madrid, it is now AC Milan's turn to show their dissatisfaction with Didier Deschamps.
