Rafael Leao is eager to return to the field, there's little doubt about that, as seen from the Portuguese player's attitude in the stands during the last matches at San Siro: fully engaged in what was happening on the field, as relayed via Milan News.
The Portuguese player is sidelined, a victim of a muscle injury suffered in the game against Lecce a few weeks ago. His recovery is crucial for Pioli's team, almost needless to say.
As highlighted by La Gazzetta dello Sport, there will be new medical tests for Leao between today and tomorrow. The hope is that the injury has subsided, allowing Rafa to try to reach a good fitness level, aiming to make himself available for the match Atalanta - AC Milan.
It's unlikely he'll play from the start, even if everything goes in the right direction, as also emphasized by the report:
"Leao, new tests. Starting against Atalanta is tough."
