Rafael Leao, the Milan striker, is still not back in action following his injury and will not be included in Stefano Pioli’s squad for the match against Atalanta, as per Corriere dello Sport.
A backstage exchange between the player and the coach reveals the current situation and future plans. Following a training session with the ‘rossoneri’, Leao and Pioli came to an agreement on the best course of action.
“Leao will continue his training today and tomorrow before rejoining the group from Monday,” reports Corriere dello Sport. Furthermore, the Portuguese player is set to make his return to the starting line-up in the game against Newcastle.
Thus, as the Milan team wrestles with injuries and their aftermath, the hope is that Leao’s return will provide a much-needed boost.
