Official: Specialist consultation required as Gabbia’s scan shows ‘tendon involvement’

By: Oliver Fisher Matteo Gabbia underwent a scan on his injury that unfortunately confirmed ‘tendon involvement’ with his flexor issue. Gabbia returned to the starting line-up for the first time under the new head coach Ruben Amorim, but it was a night to forget.

After a duel with Armand Lauriente down the right side, the defender went down in serious pain and ultimately had to be stretchered off. It was reported that Gabbia left the Mapei Stadium on crutches, which suggested something quite severe.

La Gazzetta dello Sport speculated on the potential that the issue could impact the tendon as well as the muscle, and now the club’s official statement has arrived.
