Rafael Leao is expected to be sidelined for at least 20 days, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport. As a result, it is unlikely that he will be available for a crucial Champions League matchup against Borussia Dortmund following the break.
Exams reveal that the Portuguese player, who was substituted off during Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Lecce, had a first-degree lesion on his right femoral bicep.
As to the printed version of La Gazzetta dello Sport published on Monday (page 16), Leao’s recovery time is expected to be at least 20 days. If Milan’s physicians exercise caution and refrain from forcing him back onto the field, his recovery time may extend even further.
Leao will therefore most likely not be available for Milan’s next home match against Fiorentina on September 25 and is unlikely to be eligible for the team’s Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund three days later.
In 16 games this season in all competitions, Leao has four goals and four assists.
