Gallery: ‘Leao tug of war’, ‘Fonseca risks everything’ – Today’s front pages in Italy | OneFootball

AC Milan will be up against Monza away from home this evening and the big news on today’s front pages is Rafael Leao’s expected exclusion. For the third consecutive game, the star could start on the bench.

Leao isn’t exactly on the best of terms with new manager Paulo Fonseca, who has made it very clear in recent weeks that no one comes before the team. Having previously enjoyed ‘star status’ under Stefano Pioli, one can understand the winger’s frustration.

Today’s newspapers focused on the likely exclusion, of course, and also spoke about Fonseca risking it all. A win is needed to get things back on track, but the 11-point gap with Napoli will be very tough to make up for regardless.

The game is scheduled for 20:45 CET and after the 4-2 defeat last time out at U-Power Stadium, the Rossoneri will be out for revenge.
