Key Things to Know

The Story in 60 Seconds

According to Tuttosport, AC Milan center-back Fikayo Tomori remains out of manager Ruben Amorim's tactical plans despite being reinstated to the first-team squad. Milan previously attempted to sign a new central defender, including a reported €40m bid for Goncalo Inacio. Although Tomori rejected late transfer interest from Fulham to remain at the club, he has yet to play a single minute this season despite four matchday squad call-ups.

Amorim had initially excluded Tomori to encourage a transfer departure before bringing him back into training when a move failed to materialize. Even amid an injury to defender Matteo Gabbia, Amorim opted to use Filippo Terracciano in the Europa League instead of Tomori. The defender may remain unused until the winter transfer window opens.
