Rafael Leao is back. Not yet at his usual level, which is normal after more than a month out with a calf muscle injury, but he is once again available to Allegri and already stepped on the pitch in the final minutes of the win against Napoli. Now comes Juventus, then the international break, a period to regain top condition and be ready at 100% when Serie A resumes after the second break for national teams.
Today's print edition of the Italian newspaper Il Quotidiano Sportivo dedicated an article to Rafael Leao with the headline:
"Leao runs to take Milan back. Allegri waits for Rafa and sets the rules.”
The subheading adds:
"In the summer the coach asked the Portuguese to step out of his comfort zone on the wing and change role."
Against Bari he had started very well before the injury, scoring a true center-forward’s goal with his head. We will see, once he is fully fit again, how he blends with a team that has shown good things in attack.
