  "account": "AC Milan faces a significant setback after defender Fikayo Tomori was ruled out for up to a month due to a thigh injury. The English center-back will miss this weekend's Derby della Madonnina against Inter Milan and several other fixtures, including two matches following the November international break. Tomori sustained the injury during Milan's loss to Bologna, specifically a problem with the medial flexor muscle in his right thigh. This diagnosis typically requires about four weeks of recovery time. The player's absence creates a major tactical challenge for Milan as they prepare for a demanding schedule of domestic and European matches. In addition to the upcoming Milan derby, Tomori is expected to miss games against Ferencvaros, Genoa, Frosinone, Olympiacos, and Cagliari. However, Milan has some positive news on the medical front, with hopes of seeing defenders Mario Gila, Diego Moreira, and goalkeeper Adrien Rabiot return in time for the critical derby against Inter.",
  "summary": "AC Milan have been dealt a significant injury blow with defender Fikayo Tomori expected to be sidelined for up to a month due to a thigh problem. The English centre-back will crucially miss this weekend's highly anticipated Derby della Madonnina against local rivals Inter alongside several other fixtures.",
