"It seemed Rafael Leao was going to be back for this weekend's game against Hellas Verona. But AC Milan will have to do without. Milan were hoping to have Leao back in the squad for the Supercoppa Italiana, but the Portuguese was forced to miss the semi-final through injury. So, the hope was that he would be back for Sunday's game. However, it has been touch and go, and now it has been confirmed that he will miss the game through injury. Leao absent for Milan-Verona"
"This afternoon, Massimiliano Allegri spoke at a press conference about Leao's condition, as MilanNews relays. "I smile because Nkunku, I believe, he has the qualities to do well tomorrow too, since Leao is not in the game and will not be called up: he has this discomfort that does not allow him to shoot at his speed. I preferred to leave him at home because part-time players are not good at it.""
Rafael Leao will miss AC Milan's upcoming match against Hellas Verona because of an ongoing injury. He had already missed the Supercoppa Italiana semi-final due to the same issue. Massimiliano Allegri said the injury produces a discomfort that prevents Leao from shooting at his normal speed, so Leao was omitted from the squad and left at home. Nkunku is expected to start and is considered able to perform in Leao's absence. Leao has been in strong form this season, making the absence frustrating. Niclas Fullkrug's arrival should reduce dependence on Leao and avoid rushing his return.
