Tomori was part of the AC Milan side that clinched the Serie A title on the final day of the 2021/22 season and also scored the opener in the 2-0 win over Juventus at the weekend.
The 24-year-old centre-back did not have the best of games when facing his former club during the middle of last week but will be hoping for a different experience when they meet again tonight.
Given had a wonderful experience working with Tomori at Derby County when they nearly won promotion to the Premier League under Frank Lampard’s stewardship.
After that, the defender followed Lampard back to Stamford Bridge but fell out of favour with the club legend’s successor Thomas Tuchel.
Given admitted that Tomori should have perhaps received a little more game time at Chelsea and he might have fitted in there had the Blues kept his services.
“I worked with Fikayo at Derby, actually. I think he was our Player of the Season while he was there”, Given said on talkSPORT.
“Obviously, him and Mason Mount were absolutely brilliant that year. And he’s gone on from there, obviously.
“He went back to Chelsea, maybe he should have had more game time at Chelsea.
“And the players who left the club, you’d think that had they kept on Tomori he might’ve been a good fit for Chelsea.
“But take nothing away from him, he’s gone to a different country, one big club in Milan and it’s not an easy task.
“You see he scored at the weekend for them.
“He’s really at the top of his game, leading into the World Cup next month, so you’d like to think that he’s done enough to make it into the World Cup squad.”
Tomori has 12 appearances to his name in all competitions, with a single goal and three cautions, so far in the current campaign.
