Tomori a doubt for Milan clash with Juventus

Football & Cricket

AC Milan faces a significant challenge heading into Sunday`s pivotal encounter against Juventus, as key defender Fikayo Tomori is a doubt due to a thigh injury sustained during their recent 2-1 victory over Napoli.

The English center-back was substituted in the 80th minute of the match. Initial reports from Sky indicate that Tomori suffered a strain in his right adductor muscle, raising concerns about his availability for the crucial fixture.

Should Tomori be unavailable, former Bianconeri player Koni De Winter, a summer signing, is expected to step in and fill his position in the starting lineup for coach Massimiliano Allegri`s side.

Other Absences: Estupinan Suspended

Adding to Milan`s selection woes, Ecuadorian wing-back Pervis Estupinan will also be absent from the Turin clash, serving a suspension.

These absences will truly test Allegri`s squad depth, requiring him to deploy alternative options as the team aims to continue its impressive run in the 2025-26 season.

The Rossoneri currently sit atop the league table, having secured a notable win against Napoli yesterday, with American forward Christian Pulisic leading the scoring charts.
