AC Milan will surely be deprived of the services of the starting back line duo Simon Kjaer – Fikayo Tomori in the next month or so. The experienced Dane recently injured his knee ligaments and the season is over for him and yesterday Fikayo Tomori – also injured his knee.The English defender suffered an injury in the cup match against Genoa and was forced to leave the pitch. Today’s examinations have shown that the damage to the knee is not as harsh as Kjaer’s, but it is serious one. The meniscus was injured and Tomori will have to undergo a minor operation. This means that he will be absent from the pitch for at least a month, probably even longer…Here’s a name you haven’t heard in a while: Nani is back from across the oceanThis is a very serious blow for the Rossoneri, for whom the defense is the weakest link this season. Captain Romagnoli is in bad shape, but due to the injuries of Kjaer and Tomori, he was on the pitch more than he deserves. The young Matteo Gabbia was also given a chance and left a bad impression. Until recently, it seemed certain that he would go to Sampdoria or Cagliari on loan, but with Tomori’s injury, that is likely to change.After Kjaer’s injury, Milan started looking for a centre defender. The first target is the Dutchman Sven Bootman from Lille, but the Rossoneri cannot pay 30+ million USD as much as the French are asking. He is also wanted by Newcastle, who are ready to pay the requested amount. Options such as Nikola Milenković (Fiorentina), Bremer (Torino), Nathan Ake (Manchester City), Abdou Diallo (PSG) were also mentioned, but they are all too expensive for the red-and-blacks.Mon, 20.30: (1.35) AC MILAN (5.50) SPEZIA (9.50)Real options that have come to the fore lately are Eric Bailly from Manchester United and Nicolo Casale from Verona. Milan must react as soon as possible – the Rossoneri will play the next match against Spezia on Monday, after which a difficult schedule follows – derby matches against Juventus and Inter, then they play in the next round of the Italian Cup.
