AC Milan will stake its season on a crucial match against Newcastle. The team needs a victory to avoid its Champions League season ending in the group stage, with hopes pinned on Rafael Leao.

There are many motivating factors at play, and Milan’s manager, Stefano Pioli, is relying on the return of the Portuguese striker to break through English side’s defensive strategies. Leao is returning to the squad after suffering an injury in Lecce.

Meanwhile, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has returned to aid the club. The source of this information is Tuttosport.
