According to a report from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Rafael Leao is anticipated to find himself on the bench for the second consecutive match when AC Milan takes on Torino this Saturday, under the management of Ivan Juric.
La Gazzetta dello Sport states that Rafael Leao is unlikely to be part of the starting lineup for AC Milan’s Serie A fixture against Torino on Saturday.
During Milan’s recent Serie A game against Torino, Leao entered the field as a substitute and made an impact by scoring a goal and providing an assist in the second half.
Journalists Luca Bianchin and Marco Fallisi suggest that Stefano Pioli is likely to opt for Christian Pulisic, Luka Jovic, and Noah Okafor in the attacking lineup against Torino. Ruben Loftus-Cheek remains sidelined due to injury and will be absent for Milan’s final away match of the season.
Milan has already secured their spot in the 2024-25 Champions League through mathematical qualification and is currently in second place in the league standings. Torino, on the other hand, still has a chance to qualify for the Conference League, especially if Serie A receives additional slots for European competitions in the event of Atalanta and Fiorentina winning the Europa League or Conference League.
