Leao suffered a calf injury on August 17 during a Coppa Italia game against Bari.

The Portugal international suffered his injury just a few seconds after scoring the opener against the Serie B side.

Milan have reached an agreement to sign 20-year-old striker Conrad Harder from Sporting CP, but the Denmark international is unlikely to land in Italy for his medical tests before Thursday.

As things stand, Santiago Gimenez, Christian Pulisic and Samuel Chukwueze are the only attacking options for Allegri ahead of Friday’s away game at the Via del Mare.
