Sandro Tonali walked out of the pitch at Stadio Romeo Menti and is expected to miss Udinese next week.

Milan beat Vicenza 6-1 in the last friendly game of the season thanks to goals from Rafael Leão (10′), Junior Messias (21′), Ante Rebić (30′, 69′), Nicola Dalmonte (31′ own goal) and Fikayo Tomori (50′).

However, all that interests the Milan fans now is to understand what the condition of Sandro Tonali and Junior Messias are.

Tonali, a few minutes after the start of the second half on the friendly, made an unnatural movement and suffered a flexor muscle injury in his groin area. Sandro went immediately into the locker room with dark face. La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that he will miss the first game of the season next week against Udinese, which takes place at San Siro next Saturday (18:30 CEST).

Messias meanwhile, had to leave the pitch in the 59′ minute after suffering a sprained trauma to his right ankle. Both he and Sandro will undergo more tests in the coming days to understand the severity of their injuries. Stefano Pioli will surely hope they will not be out for too long.

Last season Milan had terrible luck with injuries, especially in the first half of the season. The Diavolo will hope the story does not repeat itself, and that Tonali and Messias will return quickly.
