Tammy Abraham got the nod from minute one for AC Milan against Genoa last night and yet his evening lasted for just 45 minutes.
As Calciomercato.com recall, Abraham was the man entrusted with the starting centre-forward spot given that Alvaro Morata passed a late fitness test, Luka Jovic is injured and Francesco Camarda is just 16.
However, Paulo Fonseca decided to leave him in the dressing room at the end of the first half of the match, as Morata took his place up front. According to DAZN, a slight injury was behind Fonseca’s choice more so than the fact the Englishman had a quiet first half.
More specifically, there was a tough tackle that caused him to get a bruise and led to the inability to continue the match. The hope for Fonseca will be that the ex-Chelsea man could recover for the game on Friday away from home against Verona, which might be decisive for his future.
Abraham was in very good form, with four goals and two assists in his last six games across Serie A and Champions League action. Having arrived on loan from Roma in the final days of the summer transfer window, he is playing to prove he deserves a permanent stay.
Was the physical problem that he’s not a very good footballer?
Probably got too shaken up by that horrible miss he made and couldn’t continue.
Sure. Everyone gets injured now when things get rough. Someone twists a nail and “will be forced to stay sidelined for 3 weeks”. Fng crybabies.
My goodness can this management just stop being cheap and buy a proper striker, Gerry and co are trying to be so cost efficient and it’s not working we need 50+ on a good striker or give Camarda more opportunities I don’t care how young he is if Gigi could do it he could too
