The presence or absence of Fikayo Tomori against Juventus on Sunday night is the big question on the eve of the top clash in Turin for Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri. It is still unclear whether the English defender will recover in time for the match. In the last two days he has been training separately and the feeling is that, even if he makes a last-minute recovery, he might start on the bench to avoid risks. The ex Bianconeri coach must find cover and the alternative solution is already set, another familiar name for Juventus.
Tuttosport headlines this morning:
"De Winter, it’s your turn, Juve in your destiny."
The subheading reads:
"The possible absence of Tomori opens the door for the former Genoa talent."
And further in the subtitle: "The Belgian set for his first Serie A start: Juve signed him when he was 16. A story of a rapid rise." After spells at Lierse and Zulte Waregem, came the experience with Juventus Next Gen before making his senior debut under Allegri. Then he was loaned to Empoli, sold permanently to Genoa, and joined Milan this summer. He has already played in all three positions in Allegri’s back line at the start of this season, proving to be a reliable option.
