Matteo Gabbia, defender for Milan, underwent surgery, confirming that the operation went well and emphasizing that he will be the team's biggest supporter during his recovery period. The defender was injured during warm-up before the defeat against Parma at San Siro on February 22, and his condition did not initially seem serious. However, after consulting specialists in London, it was decided that he should undergo surgery due to a hernia. The procedure was performed, and Gabbia is expected to be sidelined for about a month. "The operation went very well!" Gabbia wrote on his Instagram profile. "I want to thank everyone who supported me during this time, first of all my wife, who is always by my side. Thank you also to all of you for your support," the defender continued. "I am disappointed that I cannot be on the field to help the team at this important moment, but I will be their biggest supporter. A special thanks to the club and the entire medical team for the incredible work and professionalism with which they resolved this issue in the best possible way. I want to especially thank Dr. Mazzoni. Thank you, because over the last two days you have been like a second father to me, and I will not forget it. I care a lot about you," Gabbia stated.
