Ramos misses Bournemouth, derby at risk: La Gazzetta dello Sport
AC Milan forward Gonçalo Ramos suffered a left soleus muscle overload during training at Milanello on Wednesday morning ahead of the club’s Europa League fixture against Bournemouth, La Gazzetta dello Sport reported.
Ramos Misses European Fixture Pending MRI Results
The injury prevents Ramos from traveling with the squad to England for the European fixture. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Portuguese striker will undergo an MRI scan on Thursday to determine the precise extent of the damage. While a simple overload without muscle tears could allow him to return for Sunday’s league match away against Udinese, a confirmed lesion would rule him out for several weeks. That timeline threatens his availability for the upcoming derby scheduled for October 31. The Portuguese striker has scored in the Rossoneri’s last two games and sits at three goals since joining the club.
Without Ramos, the coaching staff must choose between deploying young forward Francesco Camarda through the center or shifting Christian Pulisic into a false-nine role. Camarda stepped into the primary role during training contingencies, while alternative attacking options like Alphadjo Cissé and Omari Hutchinson remain available to fill out the roster.
Medical Staff Process Diagnostic Results at Milanello
The immediate focus turns to Milanello as the medical staff processes the diagnostic results. Thursday morning’s imaging sessions for Ramos will establish whether the soleus strain involves fiber damage or remains a manageable overload. Meanwhile, the squad prepares to face Bournemouth on Thursday at 21:00 without multiple starters, as the club balances European commitments against domestic positioning.
