Adrien Rabiot, injured in the calf with the France team, could return to competition sooner than expected with AC Milan.
The news is good from AC Milan. Injured in the calf during the last meeting of the French team, Adrien Rabiot has not yet returned to competition. But his return is imminent. The French midfielder, who arrived in Lombardy at the end of the summer transfer window from Olympique de Marseille, says he is already ready to play again, according to the Italian press.
The Milanese staff prefer to remain cautious. He plans a gradual return, with possible reintegration during the trip to Parma on November 8. In any case, Rabiot is ahead of the recovery deadlines initially planned. A development which could lead to a summons by Didier Deschamps from November 6.
This prospect does not rejoice AC Milan, warns La Gazzetta du Sport. The Lombard club, already upset by the management of the player during the last gathering, is currently discussing with the French Football Federation to avoid a new summons. The transalpine daily even mentions advanced discussions between the two camps.
Dembélé’s crucial point?
If Rabiot were to ultimately miss the November international break, PSG could see it as preferential treatment towards Milan. Especially since someone close to the Blues staff recently spoke about the Ousmane Dembélé case. “If he plays, he is selectable,” he told The Team. A difference in approach which could annoy the Parisian club.
As a reminder, France will face Ukraine and Azerbaijan on November 13 and 16, as part of the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. A victory against the Ukrainians at the Parc des Princes would ensure the qualification of the Blues, thus offering Deschamps the possibility of turning against Azerbaijan.
