Fikayo Tomori has returned to first-team training with Milan and is available for Saturday’s Serie A meeting with Juventus, while Matteo Gabbia is increasingly expected to miss the game at the Allianz Stadium.
Tomori took part in training for the first time in three weeks after being brought back into Milan’s plans. The English centre-back has also been included in the club’s European squad, strengthening his prospects of featuring against Juventus.
Milan’s latest update comes before the club’s away fixture on Saturday night, with squad availability remaining a key issue ahead of the visit to the Allianz Stadium.
Tomori’s return provides a boost for Milan’s defensive options. He had been absent from training for three weeks, but his reintegration into the squad means he is now available for selection for the Juventus match. His inclusion in the European squad also confirms that he remains part of Milan’s plans for their continental commitments.
Gabbia’s situation is less encouraging. The centre-back felt discomfort in his ankle during Tuesday’s training session and was unable to take part in the full team session today. As a result, he is now considered increasingly unlikely to be available for the meeting with Juventus.
Milan’s squad list currently contains only one omission: Bondo. The midfielder is not included, although he could still leave the club during the ongoing transfer window.
The update leaves Tomori in contention for Saturday’s match, while Milan will have to assess Gabbia’s ankle problem before deciding whether he can play. No further details were provided about the extent of Gabbia’s discomfort.
Milan are preparing for an important away clash against Juventus, with the latest training information offering a mixed picture. Tomori’s return marks his first involvement with the team since his three-week absence, but Gabbia’s failure to complete full training leaves another defensive option in doubt.
The match will take place at the Allianz Stadium on Saturday night. Juventus will host Milan as the visitors continue final preparations with their available squad, while the situation surrounding Gabbia remains under review.
The only player absent from Milan’s European squad list is Bondo, although his future could still change before the transfer window closes. Tomori, meanwhile, has been included and can be considered for the Juventus fixture.
