Milan: the latest on Rabiot's knee injury

News that is causing concern throughout the Milan camp and beyond. Earlier today, Adrien Rabiot did not take part in the usual training session with the rest of his teammates during the French national team’s training camp, due to a knock to the knee that will prevent him from playing in the friendly against Colombia, which kicks off in Maryland at 9pm.

The French midfielder will be rested following the knock to his knee and will then return to Milan to assess his exact condition.

  • DESCHAMPS' WORDS

    France manager Didier Deschamps explained at a press conference the reasons behind the decision to rest the former Juventus midfielder and current AC Milan number 12: "Rabiot is not taking part in training as a precaution because he took a knock to the knee."

    No final training session, then, and the Frenchman’s participation in the friendly has been cancelled.

  • MILAN: NO WORRIES

    The news of the French player’s individual training regime, as mentioned, has caused some concern within the Rossoneri camp. However, according to reports from our colleagues at MilanNews and rumours circulating among sources close to the club at Via Aldo Rossi, Milan are not worried about Rabiot’s knee injury.

    The decision to have him train alone with the French national team was taken purely as a precaution and, whilst fully informed of his situation and condition, Milan will now await the player’s return to Milan, with his first training session under Allegri at Milanello scheduled for Wednesday afternoon, in preparation for the big clash against Napoli.
