The Rossoneri midfielder has picked up an injury during training with the national team

France will be without Adrien Rabiot for tonight’s friendly, which kicks off at 9 pm and sees Didier Deschamps’ side take on Colombia in Landover, Maryland.


The French midfielder, who plays for Milan, has suffered a knock to his knee in training, as confirmed by the manager himself, and will be rested to avoid further complications.


  • DESCHAMPS' WORDS

    France manager Didier Deschamps announced at a press conference that Adrien Rabiot did not take part in today’s final training session due to a knock to his knee:

    “Désiré Doué felt some discomfort in his ribs; he had a check-up today and there are no issues. He will take part in the session. Rabiot, as a precaution, is not taking part in training because he took a knock to the knee.”

  • THE CALF MUSCLE WILL BE SUSPENDED IN OCTOBER

    A precautionary rest, but one that brings to mind what has already happened once this season.


    During the international break in October, in fact, Rabiot was sidelined by the France coaching staff ‘as a precaution’ due to a knock to his calf sustained in training, but upon his return to Milanello, the player had to stop training due to a muscle problem in that very same calf, which kept him out for almost a month and caused him to miss five matches.


    Massimiliano Allegri’s hope, ahead of the crucial clash against Napoli scheduled for the next league matchday, is that Rabiot will recover from this issue straight away this time.
