"AC Milan have been given some big news this afternoon, with it being reported that Rafael Leao can play this weekend. There have been considerable doubts about Leao's ability to be involved this weekend, considering he trained alone yesterday and was still experiencing some discomfort. It was even suggested that he may not be able to feature at all at San Siro."
"As Calciomercato.com write, Massimiliano Allegri was given good news at Milanello this morning. Leao returned to group training and can be considered 'fully recovered' and ready for this weekend's game against Roma. Whilst he may not be fully match fit, as the report writes, he is a candidate for a starting spot on Sunday, which could certainly help elsewhere, given Luka Modric has not been rested in some time now."
"For Allegri, it is now a choice of three, rather than only two. So, he will have a few days to assess Leao's condition, as well as the solution which could help break down the best defence in Serie A. Certainly a big boost, even if Leao is only to help from the bench."
Rafael Leao previously trained alone while experiencing discomfort, casting doubt on his availability for the weekend match at San Siro. He has returned to group training and is considered fully recovered and ready for the game against Roma, though he may not be fully match fit. He is a candidate for a starting spot on Sunday and could provide rotation given Luka Modric's recent continuous play. Massimiliano Allegri now has three attacking options instead of two and will use the coming days to assess Leao's condition and the best tactical approach to breach Serie A's strongest defence.
