Bad news for Milan: Leao has stopped due to a muscle problem and his presence for the first Serie A match against Torino, scheduled for Sunday, August 23, is now strongly in doubt.

The Portuguese attacker will not take part in the trip to Poland with the team for the last pre-season friendly, scheduled for Saturday afternoon against Manchester United. **The extent of the problem and summer difficulties**

Medical tests have shown that the Portuguese has a muscle problem in a quadriceps, a resentment, and a recovery in two days is impossible. This physical stop represents a new complicated chapter of a particularly troubled summer for the Rossonero number ten, which started with a World Cup characterized by highs and lows, including the goal scored against Uzbekistan, the flash assist against Croatia and various passages to empty, and continued with the late reunion with the group on tour in Australia, rhythms and timings that evidently penalized the most discussed player of the moment. A real blow for coach Ruben Amorim, who is now forced to redesign the offensive department of his team again.
