"AC Milan simply have not been able to catch a break when it comes to injuries this season, and Rafael Leao is now at risk. As La Gazzetta dello Sport report, rather than emptying, the treatment is a bustling place for Milan. Some are on their way out, but some are also in danger of coming in. Leao himself is standing there, having been substituted at half-time against Atalanta two nights ago."
"Massimiliano Allegri immediately cited physical reasons for his decision, stating: "Rafa hadn't been feeling great during the week and couldn't get going." That led to a scan on Wednesday, which ruled out any injuries but confirmed hip inflammation. This inevitably affects Leao and his style of play, which relies on sprinting and quick movements. There's still some doubt about his availability for Roma because there are only a couple of full days of training left, which doesn't offer much time to fully recover."
AC Milan are managing a growing injury list that now puts Rafael Leao at risk ahead of the Roma match. Leao was substituted at half-time after struggling in the week, and Massimiliano Allegri said: "Rafa hadn't been feeling great during the week and couldn't get going." A scan ruled out structural damage but confirmed hip inflammation, which hampers his sprint-reliant style. Limited training days leave doubt over his availability, though Leao intends to attempt recovery and a selection decision will follow the next two sessions. Christian Pulisic remains sidelined, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christopher Nkunku compete for a spot, and Santiago Gimenez has an ankle concern.
