GdS: Leao and Adli to start on the bench for Milan against Marseille

Rafael Leao and Yacine Adli are expected to start on the bench for the match against Marseille on Sunday evening, a report claims. 

As has been reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport today (via Milan News), the Portuguese forward and the French attacking midfielder are set to make an impact from the bench in the next Milan friendly.

The Rossoneri are taking on Ligue 1 side Marseille in what will be a very tough test. The French league starts one week earlier than Serie A so, in theory, they are further ahead in their physical preparation for the new campaign.

That means it will be a very good test for the Milan players. Leao is suffering from his heavy workload so he could be replaced by Ante Rebic.

There will also be space for Junior Messias and Brahim Diaz behind Olivier Giroud so that means that Adli will be on the bench after a very impressive display against Wolfsberger.
