THE Milan announced this Friday that Fikayo Tomori underwent “surgery on his left knee to repair the medial meniscus tear”. The defender’s recovery time, who “is fine”, was estimated at 30 days.
The injury of the English defender, who returned after contracting covid-19, occurred last Thursday, in the victory over Genoa, by 3 a 1, for the Coppa Italia. The 24-year-old was substituted in the 24th minute, giving way to Alessandro Florenzi.
Without the athlete, coach Stefano Pioli still won’t be able to name other important names in the defense. That’s because captain Alessio Romagnoli also tested positive for the new coronavirus, while Simon Kjaer tore ligaments in his knee and won’t return until June.
revealed by Chelsea, Tomori has been one of Milan’s highlights since joining the team in January 2021. Bought in July for €28.8 million (R$181.3 million currently), he has played 23 games this season and scored one goal .
deputy leader of A league, Milan have 48 points – one less than their rivals International, which has one less game. Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s team returns to the field on Monday, at 2:30 pm (GMT), when they receive Spezia for the 22nd round of the Italian Championship.
