Fikayo Tomori feels ready to get back to action ahead of Milan’s Serie A clash against Sampdoria today.
The 24-year-old English defender has missed the last four weeks after having surgery on the meniscus in his left knee. He picked up the injury in the Rossoneri’s 3-1 Coppa Italia victory over Genoa last month, but now he is fit enough to return to action.
Speaking to Sky Sports Italia ahead of Milan’s match against Sampdoria, Tomori discussed his physical condition and the importance of maintaining momentum.
“I feel good. It was an easy and quick operation, I am ready to get back on the field and help the team.
“We know this is an important game, especially after the derby and the Coppa Italia against Lazio, but we must keep the sensations of the last two matches and carry them forward.
“The derby is the derby! It’s a very strong emotion, a very important game for the table too. As I said, we need to keep this feeling going into the next matches.”
