This morning, La Gazzetta dello Sport headlines the day after Milan’s 3-2 win at Torino: "Separated Pair. Pulisic Shines, Worry for Leao." The "curse" of the Rossoneri’s starting attack duo, Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic, continues, as they could not start together again against the Granata (they have done so only once this season, in the Milan derby).
The American forward was kept on the bench initially due to a fever that weakened him in the previous hours, then the Portuguese suffered a muscle injury and had to leave the pitch.
AC Milan faces some anxiety over the condition of their number 10, who will undergo medical tests today to assess the severity of his problem and, crucially, his recovery timeline, given that the Italian Supercup semifinal against Napoli is scheduled in nine days (the potential final against Inter or Bologna will take place on December 22). The signs are not positive, and Leao’s return seems almost impossible.
