GdS: The three reasons why Tomori no longer plays for Milan with Juventus lurking | OneFootball

Fikayo Tomori’s time at AC Milan is seemingly heading towards an ending after a poor start to the season which he has struggled to recover from.

A few years ago, it would be difficult to see Milan thriving without Tomori at the heart of the defence. After all, he is a young defender, even now, with the quality to still perform at a good level. However, this is not the Tomori that has been seen for the Rossoneri.

Instead, the Englishman has regularly struggled and after the incident in Florence, he has failed to recover which has seen his position fall. Considering Paulo Fonseca wanted to build the defence around him before arriving, it is certainly a big fall.

As Gazzetta dello Sport writes, the fall is down to three things.

First, the events in Florence. A poor game, headlined by the penalty incident with Tammy Abraham, which ‘broke’ the relationship with Fonseca. Despite it being a bad night, Gazzetta states it is not a reason to ‘never playing again’.

Then, we have the partnership of Matteo Gabbia and Malick Thiaw, the unlikely duo. Two players who were somewhat overlooked in the summer, but now cannot be looked away from. A partnership that complements each other well, a partnership that Fonseca likes.

Finally, one must look back to Tomori. A defender who has been consistent in recent years, but now fails to convince on a regular occasion, and always aside in important matches. When he plays, Milan concede every 57 minutes – a telling tale.

There is interest in bringing him away from the Rossoneri, and with no way back in seemingly, Tomori could be heading out of the door.
