Milan’s left-back, Theo Hernandez, has accompanied the rest of the Rossoneri squad to Rome for their upcoming Serie A fixture against Lazio, despite sustaining a minor injury during Thursday’s training session, as per recent reports.
According to updates from Sky Sport Italia and Calciomercato, Hernandez endured a foot injury during Stefano Pioli’s training session at Milanello on Thursday. Nevertheless, he has traveled with the team for Friday evening’s match.
There remains uncertainty regarding Hernandez’s availability for Friday’s game, with Pioli intending to reassess the situation on Friday morning, as outlined in reports from Calciomercato.
Should doubts persist over Hernandez’s fitness, Milan may opt to rest him for the Europa League Round of 16 first leg encounter against Slavia Praha next Thursday at San Siro.
In the event that Pioli decides to omit his key defender against Lazio, Alessandro Florenzi is poised to deputize at left-back, with Davide Calabria slotting into his customary right-back position.
Despite the potential absence of Hernandez, Milan will have a near-complete squad at their disposal against Lazio, with Tommaso Pobega being the sole confirmed absentee due to injury. Furthermore, Fikayo Tomori is anticipated to return to the squad for the first time in over two months following his recovery from a hamstring injury.
