Milan, Massimiliano Allegri speaks out on Rafael Leao’s condition

Archived the third consecutive victory in the league, which brought Milan back to the upper levels of the standings after the false start at home against Cremonese on the first day, the Rossoneri plunge back into the path in the Coppa Italia: opponents in the round of 16 scheduled at the San Siro the Giallorossi of Lecce, who seek in the elimination tournament to find the smile after a deficits start in the league.

For the team coached by Massimiliano Allegri it will be an’opportunity to see on the field some element that has had less space in the first matches of the season, for one reason or another: will still remain in the pits Rafael Leao, hurt from the previous round of the Cup (2-0 to Bari on August 17), whom Allegri himself expects to recover for the double challenge at the top against Napoli on Sunday, September 28 and Juventus seven days later.

“Absolutely not, he will not play – sentenced to the microphones of ‘Sport Mediaset’ the Rossoneri coach, who also on Tuesday will be forced to following his own from the stands, having to serve a disqualification in the Coppa Italia he picked up at the time of Juventus -. We plan to evaluate him between Thursday and Friday: only on Friday night will we understand if he will be among the convocabili for the game against Napoli”.

Beyond and beyond who will be on the field, Allegri does not want to underestimate the commitment: “The Coppa Italia is one of the seasonal objectives and with Lecce we want and must win – he said. The match is knockout, we must be careful and try to win it in the 90′: since there is no extra time but directly penalties, we must avoid the lottery”.
