"May 9, Santiago Gimenez gets a decisive brace for AC Milan against Bologna. November 2, the next chance he will have to end a five-month drought. Sometimes, things just don't go in your favour, and Gimenez's time at Milan is showing this to be the case, unfortunately. The Mexican is struggling, and it is clear to see that now, faith in him is falling. Especially with others returning to the fold."
"However, his goalscoring output matches other struggling players. Ibrahim Maza of Bayer Leverkusen, Thijs Dallinga (Bologna), Evan Ferguson (Roma), and Martin Satriano have each played less than half of his minutes. Yet, he sits alongside them in terms of goals scored. In fact, he sits only on par with Maza for output, given that the others have at least assisted. Gimenez leads for xG comfortably at 2.83, but he has not scored."
On May 9 Santiago Gimenez scored a decisive brace for AC Milan against Bologna. On November 2 he will have the next chance to end a five-month league goal drought. The striker has gone nine Serie A games without a goal and has accumulated 627 minutes this season. Massimiliano Allegri has defended the forward for broader contributions beyond scoring. Comparative data shows other young strikers with fewer minutes have similar or better outputs, often including assists. Gimenez leads for expected goals at 2.83 yet remains scoreless and has missed seven big chances, more than the others combined.
