GdS: Leao at Milanello despite rest day - Gimenez and Saelemaekers also present

"Like yesterday, AC Milan have been given a day off today by head coach Massimiliano Allegri. However, not all of the squad are enjoying that. Before January began, there was a heavy focus on the fact that Milan would play five games in 18 days. A tough run for any team, let alone one of the smallest squads in the division. However, the Rossoneri are making it through, even with key players struggling."

"One of those suffering is Rafael Leao, who has been touch-and-go for the past month, as has been regularly touched upon. Even before this weekend's game, Allegri stated that he was not in great shape. However, he still played 87 minutes, showing that he is willing to sacrifice himself for the team - which is another sign of his new mentality."

AC Milan were given an off-day by head coach Massimiliano Allegri amid a congested January schedule of five games in 18 days. The small squad has faced a tough run but continues to navigate fixtures despite key players struggling. Rafael Leao has been touch-and-go for the past month but still played 87 minutes, demonstrating increased willingness to sacrifice for the team and a maturing mentality. Leao attended the training ground on a second consecutive off-day as the only unplanned player to show up. He completed a personalised training session alongside Santiago Gimenez and Alexis Saelemaekers, both recovering from knocks, to work toward full fitness.
