There was a worrying moment early on during the win against Lazio yesterday as Rafael Leao limped off with a thigh problem, and the numbers without him in the team are worrying.
As Calciomercato.com report, the problem that Leao has sustained puts him in doubt for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Inter. The Portuguese winger went off for a right adductor strain, and it means that he could be absent for at least the first derby.

Without Leao, Milan are a different team with only one win in the eight games he hasn’t strated this season. Five draws and two defeats (against Napoli and Fiorentina) show just how important he is to the team, given he is the main attacking threat and so much passes through him.
Even in the last season the trend was similar. He missed five games, which resulted in two wins plus two defeats and a draw. Even when he starts from the bench, the results don’t come: in the current season Pioli has started him on the bench on six occasions and the only win came against Monza.
It is not worrying anything.
Milan must play strong defence and not conceded against shitermerda. Than, after is everything possible. In 1990 and 2000s Milan won everything because strong solid defence, and that is a recipe for success. Milan will have chances with Saelemaekers and Theo on left flank, Diaz Messias on right and with Giroud in general.
Leao needs to recover for game after Spezia.
Milan should try this transfer summer to sign kerem arktogun or Noah Okafor instead of Christian pulisic
Hmmm my Milan please sign okafor
Inter are gonna absolutely destroy us
They’ve been doing so since 2018 and now when they’re inform I think they’re gonna play us
Just like Spurs and Napoli right? Oh atleast please, be confident!
I’m certain that he’ll play.
Me too. They’ll make him play before he’s 100%, and then he’ll really tear his abductor, his season will be over and so will ours.
