TMW: Elongated absence, 'different' plans and bench role - what filters about Leao's situation
"Everything about the (non) issue at Milan involving Rafael Leao and Massimiliano Allegri: - After the Juventus match, a confrontation with the team and a reprimand for the player regarding approach and motivation; - Leao's absence 'hides' more significant physical issues than a strain. 45 days is the timeline... For a strain? - It's possible that after the break he won't start as a regular, but due to a technical decision;"
"Leao started life under Massimiliano Allegri well, scoring goals in preseason and then netting with a header in the first competitive game against Bari. However, he was forced off with a calf injury minutes after that goal, and had to spend six weeks out. He made a return against Napoli but the game situation (being a man down due to a red card for Pervis Estupinan) didn't help his ability to impact thing."
Rafael Leao scored in preseason and opened the competitive season with a headed goal against Bari but suffered a calf injury that sidelined him for six weeks. He returned against Napoli in a compromised match situation and later came on versus Juventus, missing key opportunities and prompting a reprimand from Massimiliano Allegri over approach and motivation. Leao's absence reportedly masks more significant physical issues with a roughly 45-day timeline. He may not resume a regular starting role after the break due to a technical decision. No January exit is expected; his future will be reassessed in the summer after differing plans about his role.
