Matteo Gabbia injury rules him out for AC Milan for several months

AC Milan have suffered a major blow with the injury of defender Matteo Gabbia, as medical examinations revealed he has sustained a tear in the left hamstring, along with a partial injury to the tendon, according to Sky Sport Italia on Monday.

Jabia suffered an injury during the match between AC Milan and Sassuolo, which took place on Sunday as part of the Italy league, ending in a 1-1 draw. The defender was forced to leave the pitch on a stretcher after experiencing a muscle problem during the game, in which he started for the first time in the league this season.

The Italian defender is set to undergo a specialized medical consultation in the coming days to determine the most suitable treatment option, whether that involves surgery or conservative treatment, depending on the developments in his medical condition.

According to the report, Jabia, aged 26, will be out for several months in either case, with the exact duration of his absence to be determined based on the final medical decision and treatment method he will undergo, putting AC Milan's coaching staff in a position to find a way to compensate for his absence in the upcoming period.
