After a loss on the opening day, AC Milan may seek a quicker return to action for Rafael Leao, perhaps as early as this weekend.
It is clear that some sort of alarm has been sounded at Milan since Saturday. After all, the management held a summit with Massimiliano Allegri yesterday, with at least three more signings now possible.

Of course, it was only the first game, and blips can happen as history shows. However, the Rossoneri looked well off the pace, and there needs to be a stark improvement this weekend. Something which Allegri is demanding, it seems.
Immediate changes
To aid this, the Italian is considering recalling Leao back to the squad, after he missed this weekend’s game with an injury. He is improving day by day, as Gazzetta dello Sport writes (via Garante_Il on X), and his return could be accelerated.
The reasoning? The defeat to Cremonese this weekend. Right now, it is only at an evaluatory stage, but there is the possibility that the Diavolo rely on their star again this weekend, which could prove a worrying fear.
Aside from Leao, Ardon Jashari and Koni De Winter are seeking a place in the starting XI; there is time to earn it, definitely.
Please don’t risk Rafa longer term injury just because you couldn’t beat a newly promoted Cremonese.
Sort the team balance and play style, don’t just depend on some hero magic from one player.
But that is Allegri ball. There’s a reason Pulisic sucked, it’s where he was played. He did have five key passes, but I said when Allegri came he should be looking to leave before he ends up like Chiesa.
….’Where he was played’….willing to extend that same escape clause to RLC and Fofana? Thought not.
Same old Milan, always panicking at first sight of the Storm, there are still almost 40+ matches this season why take such risk, we could lose that game and still lift the league.
Let him play when the doctors give the “here we go” please!!!
How about we DONT rush players back before they’re healed, and just actually go out and sign the players we need?!?!?!?!?!?! Its your fault for selling Okafor and still failing to sign even a single replacement for him, let alone another real backup striker. You let Jovic go, you sold Okafor, you failed to sign anyone yet… Do you job
🍿🍿🍿🍿
Yeah hurry him back and get him injured then we’ll be down to two wingers and one striker in the whole squad you complete fool
