GdS: Ferguson to miss Milan game with ankle injury - why it could provide an opportunity
"This weekend, AC Milan could be gifted an easy opportunity to scout a player of interest, thanks to some injury news. There are several things at stake this weekend, and Milan will have to watch the match carefully in several respects. Of course, the result is massively important, but with players out with injury, the heart of the team will also be tested."
"As Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) writes, Evan Ferguson will be out for at least two weeks, which means that it is likely that Artem Dovbyk is given a longer cameo this weekend. In the past few days, it has been reported that the Dovbyk idea has been looked at once again. Especially with Santiago Gimenez failing to really get off the mark since arriving, let alone this season."
"So, the Rossoneri could be given a chance to watch the Ukrainian in more detail. Unfortunately, Gimenez will not be given the chance to face off against his potential replacement, to show both teams what could be theirs, with the idea also including the Mexican heading to Rome. Instead, the pressure will be on Christopher Nkunku to show his worth, with the Rossoneri also struggling with front-line injuries."
Evan Ferguson will be sidelined for at least two weeks, which increases the likelihood that Artem Dovbyk receives an extended cameo this weekend. AC Milan can use Dovbyk's appearance as a live scouting opportunity ahead of the January window. Santiago Gimenez has struggled to make an impact since arriving, weakening his claim on a starting role. Christopher Nkunku will carry additional pressure to perform amid ongoing front-line injuries. The match result remains important, and the injuries will test the team's core and depth. Milan must observe individual performances and fitness to inform transfer decisions and tactical adjustments.
