Milan, Santiago Gimenez returns to the squad: what is filtering through to Lazio

Milan welcomes back the Mexican striker, who rejoins the squad 133 days after his last match.

Santiago Gimenez's ordeal has come to an end: his return to the pitch is now imminent.

This is good news for Milan and Massimiliano Allegri, because, as the Livorno-born coach announced in recent days, the Mexican striker has completed his recovery and rehabilitation process and is now preparing to rejoin the team for the final stretch of the season.

Will he be back for the match against Lazio? The latest news from Milanello and what is filtering through about the match at the Olimpico.

GIMENEZ RETURNS TO THE TEAM
The news of the day is the most eagerly awaited: Santiago Gimenez has returned to training with the team.
After Allegri gave the team a day off following their victory in the derby against Inter, the squad returned to training at Milanello. The former Feyenoord striker was also present at the resumption, celebrated and welcomed by his teammates.
Those who played in Sunday's derby spent less time on the pitch, while the others completed the entire session outdoors: Santi Gimenez was also on this list.

133 DAYS AFTER THE INJURY
The end of a long ordeal for Santiago Gimenez, who last took to the pitch on 28 October 2025 in Atalanta vs. Milan, when he was substituted due to an ankle injury.
From there, he underwent conservative therapy and then surgery to definitively resolve the problem, which kept him out of action for a total of 133 days, missing 21 matches between the league, Coppa Italia and Italian Super Cup.
Now the injury is behind him and the Mexican is ready to return, while Matteo Gabbia and Ruben Loftus-Cheek remain in the infirmary for Milan.
GIMENEZ CALLED UP FOR LAZIO VS. MILAN?
Santiago Gimenez returns to the squad, but will he be available to Allegri for Lazio vs. Milan?
The Rossoneri will visit the Biancocelesti on matchday 29 of Serie A, with the match scheduled for Sunday 15 March at 8.45 p.m. at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
The upcoming training sessions will be decisive in answering this question. Between Thursday and Friday, there will be more certainty regarding the Mexican's possible call-up for the trip to Rome.
If Gimenez gives the all-clear, he will be included in the squad list, otherwise his return will be postponed by a week: in the following round, Milan will play Torino at San Siro.
