""Fikayo Tomori seriously hurt himself in Bergamo. His leg nearly got stuck in the ground, and he was in serious danger of injuring his knee. In addition to the risk to his knee, the defender suffered a severe blow to his quadriceps, causing an effusion," he began (via MilanNews). "Milan played the match on Tuesday, and they took to the field again on Sunday evening, four days later. On Wednesday, Tomori went for tests that ruled out any injuries, and he couldn't walk."
""I'll tell you a story. In Bergamo, the bus coincided with the journalists' exit area. I was leaving and saw Fik hugging one of Allegri's aides, he couldn't walk to the bus. Fikayo Tomori told the staff on Friday afternoon that he was ready, that he wanted to play. "The three guys in defence - Gabbia, Tomori, and Pavlovic - are the same as last year, defensive disasters. Their mentality has changed. Allegri has touched the right keys.""
Fikayo Tomori established himself as a top-level centre-back in Serie A after joining Milan on loan from Chelsea in 2020, with the transfer made permanent six months later. He played a crucial role in Milan's 2021-22 Scudetto win and appears to have returned to near-best form after a couple of difficult seasons. Media talk surrounds a possible contract renewal as his form resurges. Tomori rejected moves to Juventus and Spurs to fight for a place at Milan. He suffered a serious leg and quadriceps incident in Bergamo that risked knee injury and left him unable to walk after tests. Tomori insisted he was ready to play, and the defensive trio of Gabbia, Tomori, and Pavlovic have shown improved mentality under Allegri.
