AC Milan defensive duo Fikayo Tomori and Pierre Kalulu both managed to complete the full training session at Milanello on Tuesday which increases their chances of facing Lazio on Friday.
As reported by Milan News, the two defenders who have missed the bulk of the season will soon be available to Stefano Pioli which should make his job a lot easier.
It has been known that both players should be back very soon and they have been ramping up their involvement with the rest of the players.
Pierre Kalulu was in the squad for the match against Atalanta but was not expected to get any minutes, which is what transpired.
He is certainly expected to be in the squad for Friday’s match against Lazio, but he could now be joined by Tomori.
It would be a surprise for Pioli to name either of them in the starting lineup as they are going to need to slowly build their match fitness, and facing a talented side like Lazio would not be a simple return.
Tomori is viewed as Milan’s most important defender but he has been out of action since the match against Salernitana in December where he pulled up with the injury.
Now we see if Pioli has reach his ceiling as some say or if it’s been the injuries as the back as I’ve personally hoped.
I’m also hoping to see the magic in Mike again as our first choice CBs come back together.
Further with Gabbia having proved me utterly wrong, how plays beside Tomori?! The idea of Kalulu and Thiaw in the squad for rotation is exciting.
Still I hope to see a great deal if Simic getting minutes as well so we are ready to cover in the event of another injury.
Forza Milan.
I just hope there is actual competition for starting CB spots. “Play lights out or the next guy stapes up and takes over”
Best CB pairing – Tomori and Kalulu.
Thiaw is a shiny new thing but no, he is not elite. He is competent but not elite level. No brain.
Kjaer is also very good and should be above Thiaw by far because he has a good brain.
Neither are Tomori and Kalulu but they work very well together.
Kalulu? The guy played 10 good matches 2 years ago and after that has been hazardous (at best).
just one match where he made a mistake and u are blasting him like this bro? wat happened before his injury when the many likes of u on this page hailed him from being a potential elite-level defender to almost being there…well anyways i do know he will be one soon
Gabbia-Tomori for Lazio and Kjaer-Thiaw/Tomori for Slavia Praha
So happy our CB are back, thiaw, Kalulu, Tomori.
They just need to be integrated into the team little by little.
