After more than a month out, Rafael Leao is ready to return to Max Allegri and his teammates. He will not start from the first minute since he is not yet at full physical and athletic condition, but even having the Portuguese forward on the bench makes a big difference.
When the number 10 is fully fit, he will return to his regular spot on the pitch, alongside a new partner who could often take Christian Pulisic’s place. That player is Christopher Nkunku, who in his first start for Milan thrilled the San Siro crowd with a goal of great quality.
Not by chance, Corriere dello Sport highlighted this pairing with the headline "The new starting tandem", though it is hard to think Allegri would leave out a player like Christian Pulisic right now.
