"AC Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri will ask for Rafael Leao to become the leader, in the absence of other stars. As La Gazzetta dello Sport report, Adrien Rabiot and Christian Pulisic will be missing against Fiorentina, but Leao is ready to start his first league match. Milan are reeling from the international break due to a wave of injuries, and now must rely on their No.10."
"Leao returned early after his call-up to the Portugal squad and the first match against Ireland (29 minutes on the pitch), has been training at Milanello since the start of the week, and is eager to shine. Or rather, to score his first Serie A goal of the season. He doesn't like that zero in the goalscoring column, but above all because he knows that Milan need him, especially now."
"After returning to Milanello on Wednesday, Rabiot underwent an MRI scan yesterday to assess the left calf problem he suffered while playing for France. It was discomfort that prompted Deschamps to sit him out of the second match, against Iceland, but not to send him home early like Mbappé. The scan revealed a muscle tear, and the feeling is that the former Juventus man will be out for about a month and will therefore be back again after the break."
AC Milan faces a wave of injuries that leaves Rafael Leao as the primary candidate to lead the team. Leao returned early from Portugal duty, has trained at Milanello, and is eager to score his first Serie A goal of the season. Adrien Rabiot underwent an MRI that revealed a left calf muscle tear and is expected to be out for about a month, likely returning after the break. Christian Pulisic missed a connecting flight and will undergo a scan for a right thigh flexor issue, with severity still to be determined.
