The captain has been heavily criticised for his performances in the last few weeks and after the mistake on Thursday, against Red Star Belgrade, Stefano Pioli has made up his mind: Fikayo Tomori will play instead.
According to Peppe Di Stefano of Sky Italia, as cited by MilanNews, the Chelsea loanee will start alongside Simon Kjaer in the heart of the defence tomorrow. Something that Milan fans will appreciate, given the Englishman’s impressive start.
