SM: Leao and Calabria forced off during Lecce game – the latest on their condition

AC Milan’s injury problems might just have got substantially worse as Stefano Pioli needed to bring off two players during the 2-2 draw against Lecce this afternoon.

Milan suffered another big blow to their title hopes against Lecce on Saturday afternoon as they threw away a commanding 2-0 half-time lead to draw at the Stadio Via del Mare.

There was a worrying moment for Milan inside the ninth minute when Rafael Leao pulled up instead of chasing a through ball clutching his muscle and he was forced off, with Noah Okafor taking his place.

Then, Davide Calabria was taken off at half-time and replaced by Yunus Musah in a substitution that certainly didn’t suggest being tactical choice.

According to what we have learned, Leao was taken off due to a right flexor strain and Calabria had left flexor fatigue. Both will have checks before responding (or not) to the call-up of their respective national teams.
