The Portuguese exited the field after barely 10 minutes, due to a strain in the right flexor: ‘I stopped immediately.’ Fatigue for Calabria.”
Rafa Leao‘s match in Lecce lasted less than 10 minutes. The Milan forward experienced a muscular issue in his right thigh immediately after a sprint. The Portuguese promptly left the field, and in his place, Okafor came on.
A concern for Pioli, who risks losing him for a significant period. The hope for the Rossoneri is that Leao has not aggravated the situation by running on the injured leg. ‘I stopped immediately,’ replied the Portuguese to his coach at the time of the substitution.
Initial examinations revealed a strain in the right flexor. Most likely, Leao will not be available for the commitments with his national team, but at least the break will allow the Milan medical staff to start treatment immediately to make him available to Pioli as soon as possible.
There are also concerns for Davide Calabria, who exited due to a left flexor fatigue. Both, however, will undergo an MRI before responding to the call-ups for their respective national teams.”
