In view of tomorrow's Champions League match against Newcastle, crucial for Milan's European fate, today's print edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport headlines the following words:
"Leao towards a starting spot, Kjaer out."
The Portuguese has recovered from the hamstring injury in his right thigh suffered against Lecce, which kept him out in recent weeks, and is ready to return to the field from the start.
Simon Kjaer, on the other hand, will not depart for England this afternoon with the rest of the Rossoneri squad: the Dane is still sidelined, so against Newcastle, it will again be up to Theo Hernandez to partner with Fikayo Tomori in the heart of Milan's defense.
In this morning's training session, it will be understood whether Noah Okafor, who returned to group training yesterday, will be able to travel to Newcastle or if he will return among the squad for Sunday's game against Monza.
