GdS: ‘No risks will be taken’ – Leao will decide his role in Supercoppa Milan derby | OneFootball

AC Milan star Rafael Leao has recently been sidelined after suffering a non-contact injury. However, it seemed that he would be able to return in Saudi Arabia, but this may not be the case.

Due to the injury that Leao suffered, there has been an elevated level of caution around Milan. The club have recently been struggling with injuries again, and with Leao’s problem not coming from a tackle, there is a higher level of wariness.

For this reason, the Rossoneri are not willing to take any risks with Leao, because of how intense the month of January is for the club, according to Gazzetta dello Sport (via Milan News).

In fact, the winger has only begun working on the sidelines in the past 48 hours, so the chances of him playing a starting role are zero, and it would only be from the bench that the star could make an impact for the Diavolo.

The decision will only be made in the last few hours about whether he features or not, and it seems the decision will be made by the winger himself, based on ‘his own feelings’. It requires weighing up the importance of this game against the risk of missing further games.
