With Fikayo Tomori limping off, it means 21 out of the whole 27 gamers within the Milan squad sustained an harm this season and so they now don’t have any match centre-backs.
The England worldwide was one of many few who had managed to keep away from the therapy desk this time period and consequently was taking part in around the clock.
Which will effectively have contributed to the setback, as he pulled up clutching the flexor in his thigh through the 2-2 draw with Salernitana on the Stadio Arechi.
Tomori is the 21st completely different participant out of 27 within the squad to have suffered an harm this season, the overwhelming majority of them muscular in nature.
Of the six gamers who prevented injury thus far, solely Tijjani Reijnders and Olivier Giroud are actually first-choice choices.
Coach Stefano Pioli’s coaching methods have raised questions, as this was the 30th completely different harm {that a} Milan participant has sustained this season, 22 of them muscular, together with after all a number of relapses.
The worst disaster is in defence, as a result of Simon Kjaer went off at half-time in opposition to Salernitana, that means there are not any match senior centre-backs at Pioli’s disposal.
They completed the match with Theo Hernandez and teenager Jan-Carlo Simic in central defence.
Malick Thiaw, Pierre Kalulu and Mattia Caldara are long-term absentees, whereas Marco Pellegrino is recovering from harm.
The one excellent news is that reportedly Kjaer merely felt dizzy after a knock to the top and doesn’t have something severe.
