Rafael Leao’s recovery is progressing well after the calf injury he sustained in mid-August during the Coppa Italia match against Bari. The Portuguese forward, who missed the first two league games against Cremonese and Lecce, is aiming to return to the pitch against Bologna after the international break.
As reported this morning by Corriere dello Sport, Milan’s number 10 is following a specific recovery plan that includes personalized sessions for this week, before rejoining full training at the start of next week, when the internationals will also return to Milanello.
"Leao to play a key role in Milan"
The Milan coach is counting heavily on Rafa and intends to build the new attacking structure around him, with Leao set to play a central role in Milan’s offensive setup. Among the options being considered is the possibility of pairing him with another striker up front, or even reshaping his role entirely by transforming him into a centre-forward. These are working hypotheses at Milanello, but Rafael Leao’s comeback is drawing ever closer.
