The exams have confirmed the concerns of the Milan fanst. Fikayo Tomori is seriously injured during the match against Salernitana this weekend.
Bad news for Milan and Stefano Pioli: the exams that Tomori underwent revealed a muscle-tendon injury to the right hamstring. The English defender will, therefore, be forced into a lengthy period of forced rest; surgery won’t be necessary, but the recovery time is expected to be no less than two months.
In summary, these are some really unfortunate news for Pioli, who will have to do without Thiaw and Kalulu in defense for several more weeks, relying only on Kjaer, Marco Pellegrino, and the young Simic.
To see Tomori back on the field, we’ll have to wait for at least a couple of months, meaning he’ll miss the matches that Milan has to face in Serie A, Coppa Italia, and Europa League until late February or early March. This issue will inevitably impact the upcoming January transfer window, necessitating the search for one or two central defenders to ensure Pioli has a competitive squad capable of handling the busy schedule.
