Ac Milan handed major boost ahead of St James’ Park decider

AC Milan may see the return of Rafael Leao to the lineup prior to their significant Champions League clash against Newcastle United next week.

The 24-year-old forward, who has been sidelined for the last three matches due to a hamstring injury, has received encouraging results from recent tests.

There are reports suggesting that he is aiming to make a comeback for the Champions League match against Newcastle on Wednesday night.

Reports suggest that Rafael Leao might make a return to the field even before AC Milan heads to England for the crucial game.

Italian daily Tuttosport (via Tutto Mercato) indicates the chance that the Portuguese player could be included on the bench for the upcoming Serie A clash against Atalanta for the Rossoneri.

The medical team at AC Milan has given the green light for Rafael Leao to resume training on the field, signaling a potential comeback.

The Portugal international has resumed training this week, and assessments indicate that the injury to his thigh muscle has completely healed.

He suffered the injury in the early minutes of the 2-2 draw against Lecce on November 11, causing him to miss subsequent matches against Borussia Dortmund, Fiorentina, and Frosinone.

While there was initial anticipation that Leao might at least be included on the bench for the upcoming match against Atalanta, a crucial clash for securing top-four positions, Stefano Pioli and the medical team have opted for a more cautious approach.

They have decided to allow him to continue training at Milanello, ensuring a full recovery before the pivotal Champions League encounter against Newcastle.

So far this season, Leao has made significant contributions with four goals and as many assists in 16 competitive games for Milan.

Should Leao successfully navigate a rigorous training session today, he may rejoin the squad training as early as tomorrow.

If all progresses as anticipated, he might secure a spot in the squad for the trip to England to face Newcastle.

A victory for either of the teams could secure their passage to the last 16, contingent upon the outcome of the match between Paris Saint-Germain and Dortmund.
