“Rafael Leao Returns to Training for Crucial Champions League Clash with Inter Milan”

Stefano Pioli has received a significant boost ahead of the Champions League semi-final second leg against Inter on Tuesday night, while Rafael Leao took part in training with the rest of the first-team squad at Milanello on Sunday evening. tomorrow.

The Portuguese international was substituted 11 minutes into the 2-0 win over Lazio at the San Siro last Saturday after suffering a left adductor problem, which ultimately ruled him out of the first leg of the European derby.

According to reports from Gianluca Di Marzio on Sunday, Leao is heading towards a recovery ahead of Tuesday night’s crucial Champions League clash.

The 23-year-old reportedly worked out with the rest of the group on Sunday morning, excluding the final practice match at the end of the session out of precaution.

Leao’s absence was felt by Pioli and the rest of the Rossoneri squad in the first leg against Inter, who fell 2-0 after 11 minutes of the tie. Milan will need a statement performance on Tuesday if they are to reverse the two-goal deficit inflicted on them by Simone Inzaghi’s men.
