Rafael Leao is running a race against time as he picked up a slight muscle injury in AC Milan’s 2-0 win against Lazio. And in just two days, the Rossoneri will be up against their city rivals Inter.
The Portuguese winger left the pitch just 11 minutes into the game and tests the following day revealed a slight muscle elongation. His presence on Wednesday is thus unlikely, but the final decision will be taken on the day.
In the meantime, Leao hosted a Q&A on the App The Residency, as collected by MilanEye. The winger was asked a series of questions from the fans, including the latest on his condition, Kylian Mbappe and Charles De Ketelaere.
On injury: “No worries I’ll be back soon. I’m an optimist. I did the treatment and slept all day.”
On Mbappe to Milan: “Mbappe should come to Milan haha. He’s an AC Milan fan already.”
On De Ketelaere: “Charles will be an important player for us in the present and in the future, great quality.”
On Chaka Traore: “Chaka Traore will be the future of Milan, I really like him.”
On his speed: “If I’m faster than Theo? Ahaha don’t know but he’s fast.”
By the sounds of it, Leao will definitely be back for the return leg against Inter, but risking him already on Wednesday might not be wise. Of course, it will depend on how the player feels come gameday.
He can take shots these last 5 games (rest against Spezia) haha
Also without Leao we can face Inter without any Fear
This will be Two Derbys that willmakeHistory for Both. sidMilan beside Leao has 13 great Players and if Maignan is In His Day We will have a great Champions League Derby Night
If saelermakers is to start on the right wing role. Then rebic will play that role as sub
Leão is known for his explosive speed, dribbling ability, and finishing skills, as well as his versatility in being able to play across the front line. But I don’t think that Mbappe should join the AC Milan club because the fees of Mbappe are very high, which Milan Club could not afford. As a fan of Mbappe, I make an effort to show my support and admiration for him.
