Leao and Fofana out, Milan focus on the Super Cup and the transfer market | OneFootball

Milan faces Sassuolo without Leao and Fofana, both sidelined. The goal is to have them back for the Supercup, while on the transfer market the Brazilian goalkeeper Hugo Souza is being considered.

Leao and Fofana out, Milan looks to the Supercup and the transfer market

Milan has to deal with two significant absences ahead of the match on Sunday, December 14 against Sassuolo. Rafa Leao and Youssouf Fofana have both trained separately at Milanello, a sign that their conditions are not yet optimal. Both will miss the league match, but the Rossoneri medical staff hopes to recover them for the trip to Saudi Arabia, where Milan will face Napoli in the Supercup semifinal on December 18, with a possible final scheduled for the 22nd.

Leao's absence will deprive Allegri of one of his main attacking references, while Fofana's withdrawal will take away quality and physicality from the midfield. Against Sassuolo, therefore, Milan will be called to a test of maturity, also in view of an intense December that will culminate with the international appointment.

Transfer market: Hugo Souza considered in case Maignan leaves

Alongside matters on the pitch, the club continues to monitor the transfer market, especially for the goalkeeper position. The hot name is Hugo Souza, the Corinthians goalkeeper, considered as a possible option in case Mike Maignan does not renew his contract. A preventive move, which shows the management's attention to planning for the future, without being caught unprepared.

The month of December thus proves to be crucial: between recoveries, prestigious commitments, and transfer strategies, Milan is called to maintain high concentration on several fronts.
