"Rafael Leao played from the first minute in AC Milan's clash against Cagliari, despite being in subpar condition, and could have sustained an injury as a result. Instead, however, Leao managed to follow the strict instructions of the medical staff and scored the winner for the Rossoneri. Massimiliano Allegri's gamble, even if it was more or less forced, thus paid off and he was able to breathe a sigh of relief afterwards."
"As explained by Luca Bianchin for Gazzetta dello Sport, Leao arrived for the game with an inflammation in his right adductor. This inflammation, in the worst-case scenario, could have resulted in a pubalgia which would have been a huge blow for the player. Due to the above, Leao was given pretty strict instructions by the medical staff: no acceleration, no changes of direction, basically no Leao."
Rafael Leao started AC Milan's match against Cagliari while carrying an inflammation in his right adductor that risked developing into pubalgia. Medical staff imposed strict restrictions: no acceleration, no changes of direction, and limited physical exertion, which kept Leao operating at roughly 70 percent and avoiding high-speed runs. Despite those limitations, Leao controlled a ball in the box with his right foot and unleashed a powerful left-footed strike that became the lone goal. Massimiliano Allegri's decision to play Leao, although risky, delivered the winning outcome. Milan executed effectively under constraint and maximized available resources.
