Milan handed Gila boost as scans rule out injury

Milan handed Gila boost as scans rule out injuryMilan have been handed positive news over Mario Gila, with tests confirming that the defender escaped serious injury after limping out of Saturday’s friendly against Celtic.

>The Spaniard was withdrawn early during the 2-2 draw in Glasgow, an premature exit that briefly raised concern in the Milan camp.

>According to MilanNews, Instrumental examinations carried out afterwards diagnosed a strain to his right thigh and, crucially, ruled out any lesion, sparing Ruben Amorim a fitness worry as pre-season preparations continue.

Gila strain the only blemish on useful Milan run-outThe scare aside, the trip to Scotland offered plenty for Amorim to work with. Milan struggled early, undone by defensive lapses as Celtic punished the mistakes to build a two-goal lead, but returned after the interval with more energy, better organisation and a sharper, more aggressive edge to complete the comeback.

>The final scoreline left a two-sided reading: questions remain at the back, yet the character of the response and the continued growth of the club’s younger players stood out as encouraging signs.

>For a first friendly, it was a valuable exercise in minutes and momentum, and one Milan ended without the injury blow they had feared.
