AC Milan will be without their star forward, Rafael Leao, for Saturday’s Serie A match against Torino. The Portuguese international is sidelined after experiencing a recurrence of pain in his right adductor, which prevented him from participating in training.
Leao is scheduled for further medical assessments on Saturday to determine the full extent of the muscular problem. The club aims to establish how long he is expected to be out before making any official announcements regarding his return.
In Leao’s absence, German striker Niklas Füllkrug is anticipated to take a starting role alongside Christian Pulisic. Coach Stefano Pioli is expected to reshuffle his attacking options, with Füllkrug likely to lead the line.
This injury comes as a significant blow to Milan during a crucial phase of the season. With the Serie A title race against rivals Inter still fiercely contested, every point gained carries immense weight.
Leao has been one of Milan’s most pivotal players throughout the current campaign, and his unavailability will undoubtedly be felt. However, there is optimism within the club that the injury is not severe enough to keep him out for an extended period.
