Having come into the game in a defensive emergency, disaster struck in the 50th minute when Thiaw made a tackle while backtracking and pulled up clutching his hamstring. He could not continue, so Rade Krunic came on leaving question marks about who would slot in.
As MilanNews writes, the epidemic of injuries continues and especially in the defensive department. This time it was Thiaw who has gone down with an obvious problem in his hamstring, given that’s what he was holding.
That means that Simon Kjaer, Pierre Kalulu, Marco Pellegrino, Mattia Caldara and now Thiaw are on the sidelines, leaving Fikayo Tomori as the only fit recognised senior centre-back. The total injuries this season have risen to 27 as well, demonstrating the extent of the issue.
