Rafael Leao is not sure about the duel with Inter

Rafael Leao started in the Milan – Lazio game (2:0), but the Portuguese lasted only 11 minutes and was replaced.

In particular, Leao complained of soreness in his right thigh, and he practiced separately from his teammates in Tuesday’s official practice.

Milan’s most valuable player also did some sprints with the team’s coach.

At the press conference before the game with “Inter”, the coach of “Milan” Stefano Pioli spoke about the fact that Rafael Leao will not even be on the bench.

“Tomorrow morning he will try to force and if everything is in order he will be there (not on the field), otherwise not. Either he can play or he won’t be on the bench. What kind of work he will do depends on tomorrow, he should be 100% in terms of quality and skills, let’s see, everything is still open.” he said, reports Calciomercato.

10 matches, one goal and 5 assists – these are the indicators of Rafael Leao in this UEFA Champions League season.

“There were always balanced matches, except for the Super Bowl. We have to be very ready for tomorrow’s game, then we will understand how to interpret the return match. We will need to be at a high physical, motivational and technical level. Tomorrow we have to play a good game, but the team is fine and ready.” – he added.
