Tomori Gives One Of His Best Displays In A Derby County Shirt Ahead Of Trip To Chelsea
Published: October 28, 2018Nigerian defender Fikayo Tomori gave one of his best displays in a Derby County shirt as Frank Lampard's side were held to a 1-1 draw by Middlesbrough on Saturday afternoon.
And it was not surprising that the England U21 star picked up the Man of the Match accolade at the end of the game at Riverside Stadium.
Tomori finished the match with 80 touches, 5 clearances, 2 blocks, 2 tackles and gained possession 6 times.
Having snubbed Tomori during pre-season, Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri will run the rule over the central defender when The Blues host the Rams in the League Cup this coming Wednesday.
Chelsea have permitted their loanee to feature against his parent club, arguing that it will aid his development playing against a top side.
Since joining Derby County on loan from Chelsea in August, he has played every minute of all seventeen matches in all competitions.
Tomori has not played for Chelsea's first team since making his professional debut against Leicester City on the final day of the 2015-16 season.
