Milan's pre-season headache keeps growing

AC Milan are heading into their pre-season friendly against Manchester United with a mounting injury list โ€” and Matteo Gabbia is the latest name added to it, according to Football Italia.

The latest absentee

Gabbia has been ruled out of the Manchester United fixture, Football Italia reports, joining what the outlet describes as a growing list of players unavailable for Milan's high-profile pre-season test. The nature and severity of his issue have not been confirmed, and the full extent of the absentee list remains unclear from a single source.

Why it matters

Milan are already navigating a squad rebuild under pressure โ€” a patchy pre-season against a high-profile opponent only makes the picture harder to read for Paulo Fonseca.

Milan will be hoping the list stops growing before 14 August. Right now, it doesn't look like it's finished.
