Milan wants to “close the gap” with Juventus, according to Tomori, who is “happy to be back.”
Fikayo Tomori addressed the media prior to tonight’s match between AC Milan and Lazio, offering his insights on the challenge at hand. The Englishman is back in the team for the first time since December after recovering from his injury.
After a protracted recuperation, Tomori—who suffered a hamstring injury in the match against Salernitana at the end of December—is again available for Stefano Pioli. With Simon Kjaer and Matteo Gabbia beginning the game for Lazio tonight, he will be sitting on the bench.
Prior to the match, Tomori talked with DAZN, as reported by MilanNews, about the match and his feelings about being back in the team. When questioned about how many minutes he can play, the defender gave a comforting response.
When he got back,
It was difficult for me to watch the games from the sidelines, but I’m glad to be back. The squad has performed well throughout this time, we are now a few points ahead of second place, and we have a chance to cut the gap even more today.
What is the amount of time you have left?
“I’m prepared to take the field, let’s see. See you later. I’m ready if I play for fifty minutes or five minutes.
With a victory tonight, Milan, who is presently four points behind the Bianconeri in the rankings, would hope to put pressure on Juventus. The Rossoneri may possibly secure third place with tomorrow’s match between Atalanta and Bologna.
