AC Milan striker Santiago Gimenez has been fortunate to avoid a fracture and ligament damage during Mexico's World Cup exit. Gimenez had a disappointing tournament, limited to a few minutes on the pitch, and things took a turn for the worse when he injured his ankle in the latest match. The striker was substituted into the game, but his appearance was cut short due to a nasty ankle injury.

Fortunately, initial fears were high, but Calciomercato.com reports that Gimenez has escaped with a 'grade two sprain'. The severity of the injury is still being assessed, and his recovery time remains unknown. This comes as a relief to AC Milan fans, who were worried about the striker's fitness.

Gimenez had high ambitions for the tournament, stating that Mexico would win and he would be the top scorer. However, his form leading into the World Cup was a concern, and he struggled to make an impact. The injury setback will be a disappointment for the young striker.

The AC Milan team will be keeping a close eye on Gimenez's recovery, hoping he can return to form soon. The striker's performances will be crucial for the team's success in the upcoming season.
