GdS: Tomori faces ‘race against time’ to make Juventus game – who would replace him

It is currently a ‘race against time’ for Fikayo Tomori to recover for the game against Juventus, but a replacement is already ready.

As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) recall this morning, it was in the second half of the game between Milan and Napoli on Sunday evening that manager Massimiliano Allegri was forced to replace Tomori after he complained of a muscle strain.

Fortunately, in the hours that followed, no serious injuries or damage were discovered for the Englishman, only a minor adductor strain for the centre-back. Although the severity of the injury is not catastrophic, Tomori’s presence for the match against Juventus remains in doubt.

Tomori was at Milanello yesterday for treatment despite it being a rest day and the team not training. Today, with the group returning to work, there will be further updates and more certainty regarding his physical condition.

There is definitely a collective desire to try and get Tomori back for the match in Turin in four days time, but nothing will be rushed because of the risk of further damage.

If the former Chelsea man is not deemed fit enough, Koni De Winter is prepared to step in for what would be his first league start since arriving in the summer.
