#rafael-leao

The day I closed the deal was one of the best days of my life.

Rafael Leao is currently not expected to be able to start Monday night's game against Napoli, forcing Massimiliano Allegri to change his plans. Positive signs arrived regarding Leao's condition from Milanello on Thursday, but it's not yet clear whether they're conclusive.

Leao injured himself on December 8th in Turin. There was talk of inflammation, but it soon became clear that the problem was more to do with pubalgia. Pubalgia is not something to take lightly: you never know when a player will be back to 100%. For Rafa, that day hasn't arrived yet.

After what happened in Rome, this tense situation rather than an argument, with Leao, irritated after the substitution, a major controversy has begun to arise regarding the player's future and what comes after. We want to try to clarify the situation, but also to defuse the situation a bit.

In the second half of Lazio vs. Milan, Leao twice made a deep run behind Adam Marusic. In both moves, there was a moment when Pulisic, in possession, could have sent a through ball to him. They were two difficult but not impossible passes that could have unlocked the game.
