Tomori’s suspension and defensive emergency
After the match against Genoa, AC Milan is facing a new challenge in defense due to Fikayo Tomori‘s suspension. The English center-back, already on a yellow card, will miss the next match against Fiorentina, scheduled for Sunday at 15:00 at the Franchi. This news has surprised fans, considering Tomori’s crucial role in the Rossoneri’s backline.
In his absence, De Vinter, Gabbia, and Pavlović will be the chosen starters for the away game, while Odogu will be the only available substitute on the bench. With only four defenders available, the emergency is palpable, and the club needs to seriously consider the need for reinforcements. This is not a time to lower morale; instead, it’s an opportunity to demonstrate the team’s resilience.
Reactions and controversies post-match
A standout episode was Mike Maignan‘s reaction, who at the end of the match, visibly nervous about the penalty awarded to Genoa, reportedly let out an expletive. Although the goalkeeper didn’t directly address the referee, the situation sparked controversy, with several opposing fans calling for a suspension. It’s important to clarify that Maignan has always acted professionally, and the team needs support during this delicate time.
Support for Fofanà
Turning to Fofanà, his decisive error has affected the team’s morale. After missing a huge opportunity during the match, the player expressed his regret on social media, but teammates, especially Leão, showed their support. The atmosphere of solidarity is a key aspect of overcoming difficult moments.
Nkunku at the center of market rumors
Finally, the rumors surrounding Christopher Nkunku continue to make waves. After a foot problem that kept him off the field, the attacking midfielder has returned to group training and seems ready for the Fiorentina challenge. However, the Turkish club Fenerbahçe is reportedly trying to persuade him to transfer, offering a salary of 7 million euros net per year. Milan’s asking price for the player is currently between 32 and 35 million euros. Nkunku’s future is uncertain, but he’s a key point to monitor in the coming days.
