The first medical updates arrive on the conditions of Rafael Leao, the Milan striker who was released during last night's 1-0 win on the Hellas Verona pitch, and who underwent initial tests this morning aimed at better assessing the extent of the problem. As we learn, Leao suffered an elongation of his left flexor. A new check-up will be done with MRI in a week.
This is how Paulo Fonseca, Milan coach, outlined Leao's physical condition last night post-match in Verona: “I spoke to Rafa now. It seems to me that it is nothing special. Let's see tomorrow. It was a more preventative change, he didn't want to risk it.” And instead on Milan's injuries in general he added: “Theo Hernandez is not injured. Rafa is nothing special. Pulisic arrived after an injury in the national team. Morata has tonsillitis. The problem was only with Musah and Loftus-Cheek, the others are things we cannot control.”
Leao's match at Bentegodi lasted just over half an hour, but this did not prevent him from getting the grade on the report card. For us at Tuttomercatoweb.com it is a 6, accompanied by the following reason: “At the start, like all Milan, he struggles. Then, when he seems to be starting to get into the heart of the game, he is stopped by a strain in his left flexor.”
