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 remaining on the bench against Iceland. The coach had indicated in a pre-match conference that Rabiot had received ” a blow “suggesting that his condition was not optimal.
If it did not seem serious at first, AC Milan gave worrying news about its summer recruit on Thursday. The Rossoneri have announced that the Frenchman is suffering from a soleus (calf) muscle injury. Several local media then mentioned an absence of around a month, pointing to a lack of prudence in the initial management.
“Not before the truce”
Observation confirmed by Massimiliano Allegri. Before facing Fiorentina on Sunday (8:45 p.m.) for the 8th day of Serie A, the Rossoneri coach confirmed this Saturday at a press conference that Rabiot would be absent until the next international break, in three weeks: “Rabiot will not play tomorrow if we manage him. He must recover as best he can, he must take his time… Rabiot and Pulisic are out, they will probably not be available before the next break. »
An indisputable starter since his arrival in Lombardy from Marseille, Rabiot will miss his first matches with AC Milan. The priority now remains his recovery and a gradual return to competition. The midfielder will be re-evaluated in ten days to monitor the progress of his injury.
