Rafael Leão is a last-minute absence for Milan in the match against Torino, related to the 30th round of Serie A, scheduled for this Saturday, leaving coach Massimiliano Allegri with a problem to solve in the attack. According to the Italian press, the Portuguese international felt discomfort in his adductor during training this Friday, an injury that had already caused concern at Milanello in recent weeks. This absence represents a significant setback for the rossoneri in their fight to defend second place in the league, which could extend to Portugal and the National Team. Leão was one of the 26 players called up by Roberto Martínez for friendlies against Mexico and the United States, but this injury raises doubts about his availability to represent the national team in the final stage of preparation before the 2026 World Cup. This would not be the first absence for Portugal in these matches, as Rodrigo Mora is already out due to injury. In the coming hours, Rafael Leão will undergo tests to determine the true extent of the injury and the expected recovery time. With Leão's absence, a spot opens up in the attack alongside Pulisic, with Nkunku and Fullkrug emerging as the main candidates for the starting position.
