AC Milan coach Paulo Fonseca has announced that. Rafael Leao will return to the starting line-up for Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Club Brugge.
Fonseca was dropped from the bench for Saturday’s 1-0 Serie A win over Udinese at the San Siro. And the Portuguese forward was not given a single minute of action สมัคร ufabet
After the game, Fonseca insisted that Leo’s substitution was normal and should not be taken seriously. And the Portuguese coach has now confirmed the number 10 will return to the starting line-up against Club Brugge.
“I can say that Leo will start. Gabbia trained today. He is fit and has a possibility for tomorrow’s game. But Abraham is out. He has a problem. We have to see if he will be fit for the Bologna game,” Fonseca said.
It’s unusual for Fonseca to announce his starting eleven during a press conference. And the squad is said to include Mike Maignan, Emerson Royal, Matteo Gabbia, Fikayo Tomori, Theo Hernandez, Yussuf Fofana, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Taiani Rijnders, Christian Pulisic, Alvaro Morata and Rafael Leao.
With Leao reportedly seeking a way out of the club, perhaps as early as January, keeping him on the bench will only push him further out of the door.
