FolioPitch.com – 03 August 2026 | The highly anticipated derby between AC Milan and Inter Milan is just around the corner, with the two teams set to face off at Optus Stadium in Perth on Wednesday. However, MN Gila out vs Inter while Pulisic and Gimenez continue treatment latest injury news has cast a shadow over the Rossoneri’s preparations.
Mario Gila, who joined AC Milan on a permanent deal from Lazio for around €30m this summer, has been ruled out of the derby due to a strained right rectus femoris. The Spaniard was forced off on July 25th in the first friendly against Celtic in Glasgow, but fortunately, the tests he underwent immediately ruled out any serious injuries.
According to reports, Gila is feeling better, but the medical staff has decided not to risk him in the derby, given that he hasn’t yet trained with the group. The team’s medical staff intends to take all the time necessary for his return, without forcing him and avoiding more serious muscle injuries.
Meanwhile, Christian Pulisic and Santiago Gimenez are not present in Australia, as both are recovering from injuries sustained during the World Cup. Pulisic suffered a hairline fracture to his right fibula accompanied by bone edema, while Gimenez is dealing with a sprained ankle.
The two forwards are undergoing treatment and therapy at Milanello, and once they return to Italy, the medical staff will assess their recovery to determine whether they have any chance of playing against Torino in the first competitive match of the season (August 23).
The absence of Gila, Pulisic, and Gimenez is a significant blow to AC Milan, who will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing 2022-23 season. With the derby against Inter just around the corner, the pressure is mounting on the Rossoneri to deliver a positive result.
The stakes are high, and the competition is fierce. Will AC Milan be able to overcome their injuries and emerge victorious against their arch-rivals? Only time will tell.
