Sky: Tomori expected to undergo precautionary MRI scan on swollen knee

Fikayo Tomori will have a precautionary check on his knee after a moment during the draw with Atalanta in which he looked to have done damage.

Massimiliano Allegri made one change to the starting XI compared to the team that drew with Pisa on Friday, and it was Tomori who reclaimed his spot as Koni De Winter dropped to the bench.

There was a very worrying moment just a couple of minutes into the second half as the Englishman dived into a tackle and seemed to extend his knee in a funny way, going down in a heap of pain.

He managed to shake it off and play on, however later in the eventual 1-1 draw he had a similar lunge that did not look entirely comfortable, and now some further information has emerged.

Peppe Di Stefano spoke live on Sky (via Francesco Nasato) from outside Milanello and he revealed that Tomori is expected to have an MRI to make sure that his knee is all ok.

“I believe in the next few hours instrumental tests will be conducted for Tomori, who left the stadium yesterday with a slightly swollen knee. Tests just to rule out any kind of issue, I don’t think there’s any cause for alarm from this perspective.”
