Ahead of Milan’s next match against Bologna, today’s edition of Corriere della Sera headlines:
"Leao still out, Allegri’s plan to replace him."
The Portuguese forward, having already missed the first two league games against Cremonese and Lecce, will also be absent against Vincenzo Italiano’s side since he has not fully recovered from the calf problem suffered in mid-August during the Coppa Italia clash with Bari. Against the Rossoblu, Allegri should deploy a an attack which will feature Christian Pulisic and Santiago Gimenez.
This is not a relapse, but Milan’s medical staff prefer not to take risks given the sensitivity of the calf muscle. Leao also trained separately yesterday after undergoing treatment, and his target is to return for the away game against Udinese on Saturday, September 20. The truth is that what initially seemed like a simple muscle strain turned out to be a low-grade soleus injury, which requires a four-week layoff.
