“I saw him now, he seemed serene and calm," Milan manager Stefano Pioli said about Leao's injury after their win over Lazio.
"He had a feeling of fatigue, it shouldn’t be anything in particular. He will be evaluated tomorrow at a muscular level. Then it must be said that his replacement did well.
"Proof that the quality of the team makes the difference. Of course, if you also have individualities that make the difference, even better…”
