AC Milan's versatile and young defender, Pierre Kalulu, has unfortunately sustained an injury to his soleus muscle in his calf during a match for the French U21 team. Although new tests will be carried out in a week, he will certainly miss the upcoming game against Napoli.
The head coach of the Rossoneri team, Stefano Pioli, has additional concerns over Rade Krunic and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, both nursing injuries from their respective national team camps in Bosnia and Sweden.
But amidst the injury setbacks, some positive news did indeed arrived from Roberto Martinez's "new" Portugal squad. Rafael Leao, the Portuguese left-winger, has returned to scoring goals, which is certainly a good sign for Milan. As reported earlier today already, Leao has returned to Milanello one day ahead of schedule, and today he will have a light training session in Carnago, which could be a positive indication of a change in his attitude.
During the Euro 2024 qualifiers, the Milan striker had scored one goal and provided one assist, but he also missed a penalty, which he had won. Pioli is eagerly awaiting Leao's return, as he has been missed by the team for the past two months since his last goal on January 14th against Lecce at the "Via del Mare". However, his time has come once again, and Milan's first of three fiery matches between Serie A and the Champions League will be on Sunday evening against Napoli, as pointed out by Calciostyle.it.
