Allegri warns ex-Sporting star Rafael Leão: very dangerous | OneFootball

Rafael Leão has yet to make his debut in the new Serie A season. The former Sporting player is dealing with an injury that has prevented him from participating in the two matches played by Milan so far and will continue to be sidelined, confirmed coach Massimiliano Allegri.

"Rafael Leão had an issue with his soleus, which is a very dangerous muscle," the Italian coach began by saying, assuring that the former Sporting player’s injury deserves extra care, since it is an issue in a very delicate area.

He will not be with us tomorrow, and most likely won’t even be in Udine," he added.

The Portuguese international, who came up through Sporting, will miss the fourth round of Serie A. The Milan team will visit Udinese, in a match scheduled for September 20.

In the 2024/25 season, his sixth with Milan, Rafael Leão – valued at 70 million euros – played a total of 50 games for the Rossoneri. Over the 3,500 minutes played, the former Sporting player scored 12 goals and also provided 11 assists.
