"The paper takes stock of the medical situation at Milan, ahead of the Sassuolo match and then the departure for Saudi Arabia. They start with Rafael Leao, the latest to be sidelined. The Portuguese had a scan which ruled out a strain or tear of the muscle but he will obviously need treatment to prevent the problem from getting worse. He should miss Sassuolo, but be there in Saudi Arabia."
"Meanwhile, it was reported that Zachary Athekame is close to returning to full training with the rest of the squad, and that Youssouf Fofana is continuing his individual work. It will be particularly important for Allegri to manage Luka Modric's playing time, at least for the Final Four. The Croatian has seemed to be in decline in recent games, and perhaps giving him a few fewer minutes might not be such a bad idea."
The Supercoppa Italiana will take place in Riyadh next week as a final four featuring Napoli vs Milan and Bologna vs Inter, with winners meeting in the Finalissima. AC Milan prioritize winning the Supercoppa after the Coppa Italia exit, and Massimiliano Allegri seeks a return to winning ways. Rafael Leao underwent a scan that ruled out a muscle strain or tear but requires treatment and is expected to miss Sassuolo yet be available in Saudi Arabia. Santiago Gimenez is still in recovery and likely to miss Sassuolo but target readiness for the Supercoppa. Zachary Athekame nears full training while Youssouf Fofana continues individual work. Managing Luka Modric's minutes will be important, with Ardon Jashari pushing for more playing time.
