There could be another absence for AC Milan this weekend, with Rafael Leao looking likely to miss the fixture against Roma at San Siro.
A lot has been said about Leao this season, with some now questioning whether the team is better without him in it. However, there may not be a choice for Milan this weekend, with the star picking up a new knock.
Leao struggling
Against Atalanta, Leao played 45 minutes before being replaced by Christopher Nkunku, going off with a hip injury. Since then, he has trained alone, but scans have shown that there is no injury to be worried about.
However, that does not mean he is ok to play this weekend. Corriere della Sera, via MilanNews, write that he is still working alone, due to his hip still being inflamed. So, he is a doubt for this weekend’s game.
The goal for Massimiliano Allegri is to have him on the bench, at least, but there will be no desire to risk him if it is not required. Allegri also hopes to have Santiago Gimenez on the bench, but his chances are also questionable, with him struggling with an ankle injury.
Perhaps, a strong reason to solidify the Diavolo considering another striker purchase.
