Milan expect Rafael Leao to be fully fit for their upcoming clashes with Stade Rennais in the Europa League and Atalanta in Serie A.
After the squad’s early 2-0 disadvantage, the 24-year-old Portuguese star came off the bench at halftime in an attempt to rally the team during the agonizing 4-2 loss to Monza on Sunday.
Ultimately, he was powerless to influence the outcome and watched in dismay as the Biancorossi secured all three points.
Leao had to leave the field in the 62nd minute of Milan’s 3-0 victory over Rennes due to a calf issue, and coach Stefano Pioli stated that Leao had chosen not to start against Monza.
Leao is expected to resume full squad training on Tuesday, in anticipation of Milan’s upcoming Europa League knockout playoff second leg against Rennes, according to Calciomercato.com. Leao has since recovered.
This season, the 24-year-old has been a vital member of the Rossoneri squad, with eight assists and seven goals in 30 games across all competitions. He has been strongly linked to a move to Paris Saint-Germain in recent weeks due to the Kylian Mbappe departure.
