We’ll see if the situation will change in the coming weeks, especially after the striker’s return from an ankle injury.

Gimenez has missed the last five league games but has only scored once in 11 appearances across all competitions this term and hasn’t yet found the net in Serie A.

The amount of playing time he’ll get in January will say a lot about his role in the team, but the striker still hopes to climb the pecking order one year after his move from Feyenoord.

As things stand, Milan will keep waiting but, as already reported, the Rossoneri are not unwilling to change a tactical system with three central midfielders and two wing-backs to support the starting strikers, who, right now, are Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic.
