"Massimiliano Allegri has provided an update on Rafael Leao's condition, following a couple of appearances during which he hasn't looked top-notch. It's been a rather strange season for Leao. While eight goals and two assists would suggest something else, Milan's No.10 has struggled to find his groove with the team. For example, he did brilliantly with the assist for Adrien Rabiot against Como, but none of his other actions were successful."
"In many ways, it's the complete opposite of what we have become used to seeing from Leao, now providing concrete contributions rather than 'flashy' ones. That said, these struggles might have something to do with his physical status. Leao has missed eight games through injury this season and famously played at 50-60% against Cagliari due to this. His physical status allows him to be decisive in the box, but when it comes to the trademark runs down the left flank, it's not as easy."
Rafael Leao has scored eight goals and provided two assists but has struggled to find his groove with the team. He produced a strong assist for Adrien Rabiot against Como while many other actions were ineffective. The current contributions are more concrete than the typical flashy runs. Leao has missed eight games through injury and reportedly played at 50–60% against Cagliari. His physical condition allows finishing in the box but limits trademark runs down the left flank. Improvement in physical condition is required because he is available for selection but not in great shape.
