Fikayo Tomori played from start in England’s Euro Qualifier against Malta yesterday evening, but he was replaced after 45 minutes. AC Milan are now anxiously awaiting an update on the defender’s condition, a report claims.
Gareth Southgate finally gave Tomori the chance from start in a competitive game. However, the Milan defender was forced to play as a left-back and this didn’t exactly make things easy. After just 45 minutes, he was replaced.
However, as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport this morning (via SempreMilan), the substitution was not because of his performance. Instead, he received two knocks to the right ankle and thus couldn’t continue. He’s expected to undergo further tests today, if required.
Milan are anxiously awaiting an update on his condition, seeing as they already have an injury crisis in defence. Tomori has been a key player since the start of the season and the Rossoneri will be hoping that the knocks didn’t cause any damage, just discomfort.
England ended up winning the game 2-0 despite a rather poor performance from the entire team. Tomori’s performance, therefore, shouldn’t be judged too seriously especially since he played as a left-back.
I hope to hear it’s Minor and see you in the champions league, but maybe it’s the time for our bench player and primavera to have some chance because if not for a reason pioli is not going to give them a chance to someone like simic or pilligrano
These qualifiers have been killing us year after year.
Isn’t Pellegrino injured?
Yes, with a fracture
Gareth Southgate is an idiot. He had bunches of options for left backs and plays Tomori there.
The man is a complete idiot
he didn’t even play in his correct position? this makes the whole thing worse.
Exactly the Premier League is what it is, a financial powerhouse, but we can all agree when it comes to coaching and refereeing we all know it’s crap, that’s why our coaches go there and win.
Let’s see if some idiots blame Pioli for this injury.
True! And they were relegated…
