The newspaper explains the striker’s hand is currently in a brace, but the rules state he is free to play with one, while a pre-op suggested “he could be used” against his former club.

Despite there being ‘growing’ belief that the Argentine could feature, La Gazzetta nonetheless warns “everything depends on his pain threshold.”
