"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."
"As of now, Leao is more likely to miss the match against Napoli than to be called up. Theoretically, after individual training on the pitch, the next step is a return to training with the rest of the squad, but it's not a given that this will happen today or tomorrow."
"Allegri is also starting to consider his starting XI at Milanello, three days before the big match at the Maradona. Given that Leao will, at most, be available from the bench, one of the two starters will certainly be Christian Pulisic."
Rafael Leao is not expected to start against Napoli, leading Massimiliano Allegri to reconsider his game strategy.
