the post «I’ll be back soon». Recovery for Milan-Inter in the Champions League? – Corriere.it

I’ll come back soon. So this morning the Portuguese striker of Milan on Instagram, after yesterday’s muscle injury against Lazio. We go, let’s go, writes Rafael in his social message. And then he adds: Again soon. Again soon, the literal translation. As if to say: I’ll be back quickly. Reiterating the concept already expressed yesterday in the post-game, answering the question How are you? in mixed zones. Well, well, his reply, adding in Portuguese: Nada de grave.

The question: soon when? We’ll make it by Wednesday, for the first leg of the Champions League with Inter? Today and tomorrow will be the decisive days. From the first indications it does not seem to be a serious thing. The affected muscle is the adductor in the right leg. After missing the match with Cremonese on May 3, the midweek round finished 1-1, due to turnover, Leao returned to the starting lineup in the San Siro match against Lazio, in a fundamental match for fourth place. A few minutes before the injury, he had sprinted to the left, his way. Except that he immediately stopped, causing the Meazza to freeze. After 10 minutes Leao had already been replaced: in his place Saelemaekers.

In the after game Stefano Pioli himself had his say on the injury: He doesn’t seem to be in too much pain, he smiled. We hope he is better, we will eventually try to play a great game even without him – the coach’s words to Dazn -. Evaluations will be made on Sunday (that is today), he was serene. Four days will pass before the derby, let’s see. If out on time? From what he told me, yes. The important thing will be to see how he gets up tomorrow. But it was serene and this gives me hope.
