Rafael Leao carried out some tests on his adductor today and thankfully, as confirmed by the club, any lesions were ruled out.
It was reported late last night that Leao would miss out on today’s game due to adductor discomfort. This has paved the way for Niclas Fullkrug to get the chance from start, and the timing is far from ideal for the No.10 given what a turbulent week it has been.

In any case, as confirmed by Milan to the media (including us) earlier today, Leao carried out an MRI this morning and no lesions were seen. This means that the recovery time will be a lot shorter, as it could even be enough with just resting tonight.
Napoli are up after the break, more specifically on April 6, and everything suggests that Leao will be back in action then. While you could argue that he hasn’t been in the best of form lately, not having him against the Partenopei would have been a huge blow.
It remains to be seen how Fullkrug will perform in his absence tonight, especially since it’s such a big opportunity for the German to show what he really can do. So far, with just one goal, he hasn’t done anywhere near enough to earn a stay at the club.
‘So far Fulkrug hasnt done enough’ yeah cuz he had one start for 60 minutes THATS IT
wtf is he meant to do?
Screw Leao, dont need him as a striker, literally no one a ‘breathing a sigh of relief’ on this news..
Leao is a cry baby. The one guy who plays alone more than any one else on the team and he accuses another player of playing alone. Get rid of the bum. He is a disease on the team.
Good. Maybe now he can release a new album by the end of the season.
Füllkrug has made noone happy today. Nkunku would’ve been a better choice today.
Leo should just rest I noticed we played better if he wasn’t involved in our games I bet yesterday’s game will have 3 goals since Leo won’t play and I’m right
