Rafael Leao was sent home from Portugal after not appearing in top condition and returned early to Milanello for training. He completed personal work initially and will rejoin full-team sessions on Thursday. Massimiliano Allegri will evaluate Leao during the week, and Leao reportedly has five days to secure a starting position. Leao showed dedication and needs consistent performances to reclaim a regular role. His performance against Juventus was underwhelming but understandable after limited training. Competition for starting places is strong, with Christopher Nkunku making a case by starting and scoring for France.
