MN: Allegri to make last-minute decision on Leao’s participation vs. Napoli after training test

There remains a lot of mystery surrounding Rafael Leao’s condition, and it will extend right up until the teams are named.

As MilanNews write, Leao left with the rest of the squad for the Supercoppa Italiana, despite being out for just over a week with an adductor problem that he sustained during the 3-2 comeback win against Torino.

A last-minute call

The fact he has travelled suggests that he is not far from a full recovery, though doubt remains about the role that he will actually be able to play, given the staff will have no desire to risk aggravating things.

Yesterday, the Portuguese underwent an individual training before his team-mates did their group session, while this morning Massimiliano Allegri tested him in training to determine whether he will be available for the match against Napoli.

According to the report, the Rossoneri head will make a final decision on Leao only this evening at the stadium. So, for now, his potential participation remains a mystery, just as it did in the last edition of the tournament.

As a reminder, he missed the semi-final against Juventus, and came on after five minutes in the second half of the final against Inter. It was a move that turned the match around, as he helped inspire a comeback from 0-2 to 3-2.
