Il Giornale, in this morning's print edition, published the following headline about Milan's current situation:
"Leao out and the Theo puzzle in Fonseca’s panettone."
The Rossoneri coach was saved in Verona by Reijnders’ goal, but against the Venetians, he lost Rafael Leao to injury. The Portuguese left-winger will definitely miss the match against Roma but hopes to recover in time for the Italian Super Cup semifinal on January 3 against Juventus.
Meanwhile, the ongoing Theo Hernandez situation remains a hot topic at Milan. Two consecutive benchings against Genoa and Hellas Verona don’t seem to have had the desired effect, as the Frenchman appeared visibly out of shape—both physically and mentally—when he came on at the Bentegodi. Fonseca hopes Theo can bounce back soon, just as Leao did in recent weeks after spending some time on the bench.
