There are no injuries to the left flexor, but the Portuguese ends 2024 here: the goal is to get him back on his feet for the match against Juve on January 3rd. New check-up in a week

After the match in Verona there was probably an excess of optimism: “For Leao it shouldn't be anything special, he stopped beforehand as a preventative measure,” Fonseca said immediately on the condition of his number 10's left thigh flexor. Obviously it depends on the reasoning from which the coach started: if the scenario was one that led to excluding injuries, then the optimism was justified, because in fact there are no injuries. If, however, you were thinking of a simple resentment, then no, it is something more: the statement from the Rossoneri medical staff speaks of elongation, or a stretching.

Apparently in a mild form, but still a problem that requires a new check-up (resonance) in a week. Translated: Rafa will certainly miss the last match of 2024, Sunday 29th against Roma at San Siro, and will do everything to be there on January 3rd in Riyadh for the Italian Super Cup match against Juve. That's the goal. An objective that, right now, cannot be defined as at risk, but remains valid. In recent weeks at Milanello there has been an upsurge in muscle problems. Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Musah, Okafor: Fonseca has lost many important players and Leao's problem is a heavy additional tile, Pulisic, however, should return to the Giallorossi and therefore be at the top again in the Super Cup.
