Santiago Gimenez leaves World Cup match with ankle injury against England
Summary

Santiago Gimenez was forced off the field due to a right ankle injury during Mexico’s World Cup match against England on July 6, 2026. The injury occurred in the closing stages of the last-16 tie, with Mexico ultimately losing 3-2. Gimenez’s absence further complicates matters for AC Milan, as he had previously undergone surgery on the same ankle last December. Medical tests ruled out a fracture, diagnosing it instead as a sprain. He will require close evaluation before returning to play for Milan.
