Gabbia risks missing the big match against Juventus: here are the defender's condition and the Rossoneri's plan.

Milan resumed training at Milanello after a rest day, looking ahead to the delicate Sunday evening clash at the Allianz Stadium against Juventus. However, the Rossoneri may have to do without a key figure in the back‑up line: Matteo Gabbia. The central defender born in 1999 is coming off a difficult start to the season due to a troublesome ankle relapse, a physical problem that had already plagued him during the summer preparation.

Recovery and medical staff assessments

In the first two league matches against Torino and Venezia, the number 46 Rossonero stayed on the bench as a precaution, giving three‑center‑back Koni De Winter space in the heart of defence. Subjected to intensive physiotherapy, the defender awaits the final verdict on the field. The ankle's response under stress will determine whether the player can push through or if the medical staff will opt for a precautionary stop.

Surprise reinstatement of Fikayo Tomori

To address the emergency in the back‑up department, coach Rúben Amorim and the management have decided to act with an unexpected strategic move: the official reinstatement of Fikayo Tomori. Although he had remained on the sidelines after the summer transfer window closed without finding a new club, the English defender is now back at the disposal of the technical staff, providing an essential experienced resource for defensive rotations of the Diavolo ahead of the big match in Turin.
