Leao set to return for Champions League semi-final decider: AC Milan forward Rafael Leao could be fit to face Inter Milan in their Champions League semi-final second leg, manager Stefano Pioli said yesterday, providing a major boost to his side's hopes…
Portuguese winger Leao, 23, missed the 2-0 first-leg defeat and also sat out Saturday's shock loss to Spezia in Serie A after sustaining a thigh injury in Milan's league win over Lazio earlier this month.
"He is better, as are Krunic and Messias," Pioli said when asked about Leao before today's return leg. Pioli said he is confident Milan will be able to pull off a comeback at the San Siro after last week's dispiriting first-leg defeat in which they conceded twice inside the opening 10 minutes. "We have an important goal in mind - to win the game and to qualify for the final, which nobody would have predicted, just as at the beginning of the year no one would have predicted our presence in the semi-finals," Pioli said.
