The Quotidiano Sportivo newspaper headlines this morning:
"Lautaro-Leao: joys and concerns. The Argentine is Inter's mainstay, Rafa still 'lost'."
At Inter, they enjoy Lautaro Martinez, who has already scored 5 goals in Serie A and the Champions League, while at Milan they are still waiting for Rafael Leao at his best. The calf injury that kept him out for 45 days certainly slowed his transition into a central striker, but he also needs to deliver more on the field.
Regarding Leao's physical condition, Max Allegri told DAZN after Juventus-Milan: "This was his first week of training, he was out for 45 days. Last Sunday I had to bring him on out of necessity, there was Estupinan’s red card and Pulisic’s substitution, I didn’t want to waste a change, and he didn’t play badly. Then he trained well during the week, he needs to find his condition. It is important he regains fitness quickly because we need him a lot, we need Nkunku too, they are technical players who can decide games," as relayed via Milan News.
