AC Milan: Between injuries and Leao's return, here's what's leaked for the match against Fiorentina.

AC Milan are preparing to face Fiorentina with some difficulty, due to a series of injuries that have affected some of their key players while on international duty. In particular, Rabiot and Pulisic returned from their squad with physical problems, which will force them to miss the next Serie A match.

Rabiot and Pulisic are of concern, while Saelemaekers is still being evaluated.

The French midfielder underwent an MRI scan, which revealed a lesion to the soleus muscle in his left calf. His condition will be reevaluated in about ten days, but he is expected to be out for about a month. Christian Pulisic, who had shown good promise after a positive start to the season, will be out for a while. The American striker suffered a problem with his right thigh biceps femoris during international duty. His condition will be reevaluated today, with Allegri who hopes to have it back as soon as possible.

Despite the injury, Saelemaekers has already begun individual training on the pitch, and his condition is improving. If there are no complications, the former Roma player could be available for the match against Fiorentina.

Leao returns to the starting lineup

While Milan finds itself without some of its starters, there is some good news on the way: Rafael Leao He's ready to return to the pitch. The Portuguese, who had been suffering from a muscle injury, was called up to his national team but played only 29 minutes in the match against Ireland. After his early return to Milanello, Leao worked intensively during the week, and his physical condition is clearly improving. The Rossoneri number 10, after brief appearances against Napoli and Juventus, is preparing for his first league start, aiming to score his first Serie A goal of the season.
