GdS: Pavlovic and Tomori aiming to face Frosinone – pair expected to return soon

By: Ben Dixon

When AC Milan face Frosinone, they will do so with the hope of having some returnees in the defensive line.

It’s been a tough season for Milan, with injuries involved. Not only have they struggled to keep their starters available, but even backups have struggled with several problems. So, Ruben Amorim has been given a hard task.

In the defence especially, it’s been problematic, with all but one of their senior choices struggling with issues. Mario Gila, Matteo Gabbia, Strahinja Pavlovic and Fikayo Tomori have all been absent for periods – or struggled with something – leaving Koni De Winter as the only 100% option.

Currently, three of the five are struggling with injuries, but that number is expected to drop this week.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Rossoneri will resume training on Monday, where updates are expected on the progress of Tomori and Pavlovic, as MilanNews relays. The latter suffered a tear in his thigh, whilst the Serbian has struggled with fatigue.

Both, however, are hopeful to return to group training this week, and could feature against Frosinone in a week’s time. Unfortunately, they are the only expected returnees this week, with Alexis Saelemaekers and Samuel Chukwueze not nearing a return. On the other hand, Gabbia is expected to be out until January at least.
