After Rafael Leao was named as a substitute against Monza, questions arose about the reasoning behind the decision, and a report has offered more insight into whether there are any worries from AC Milan.
Following the match, Stefano Pioli stated that Leao was struggling in the build-up to the game, with the 58-year-old sourcing his calf as an issue.
Today, Calciomercato.com has lessened any worries about his condition in the long term, as they reported the Portuguese winger is no longer struggling with the issue in his calf, which links back to the game against Stade Rennais and he will train with the squad tomorrow, at full strength. The report also states that the decision for Leao to be rested was made by himself.
With the squad travelling to France to face Rennes in the second leg of their Europa League clash later this week, the decision from Leao to rest himself for the opening period, to not risk any further injury, is a sign of his maturity, which will be admired in the dressing room.
