Monza - Milan match is set to play tomorrow. According to the latest report by Italian journalist Luca Bianchin of La Gazzetta dello Sport, it seems that Paulo Fonseca is once again planning to put Rafael Leao on the bench. This is the third time on the bench in four matches.

After the match against Napoli, where Rafa also started on the bench despite Christian Pulisic being unavailable, Fonseca assured there was no specific issue with the player. However, given yet another likely exclusion, those statements are starting to ring hollow.
In Leao’s Milan career, which has seen continuous growth, he was benched three times in a row in Serie A only at the beginning—first under Giampaolo and then in Pioli's early period. He has since become increasingly essential, ultimately rising to be the team’s strongest and most important player, as relayed via Milan News.
