Leao abroad to treat groin pain: Milan and the Instagram story

The Wednesday night mystery is live on Instagram. Rafa Leao published a story from an airplane just before 9pm: you can see the classic porthole and the sky. A clue that even the poorest investigator would notice: the sky is blue, the journey did not take place at night. In short, the reconstruction is simple: Leao was away from Milan, let’s say abroad. What did he do?

WHAT LEAO DID

It wasn’t a holiday – Rafa didn’t have any days off from Milan – but a trip to treat the pubic inflammation that has been persecuting him since December and kept him out of Milan-Turin on Saturday, with that decision on the eve of which there has been so much talk. Leao has seen a specialist to try to return for the Napoli match on Easter Monday. Will it be enough? It’s too early to say, we’ll only understand it in a week, perhaps more, when the national teams return to Milanello and Milan accelerates the pace to prepare for the direct clash for second place.

leao, what happens now

The team’s hope is to see the Leao of the past again, not affected by muscular problems. Possible? At the beginning of the year no, in the future yes. Leao would probably benefit from a break but it is unlikely that two weeks will be enough to get him back to 80%. Logic says that Rafa will work at Milanello next week and will speak to Allegri and the staff again over the Easter weekend. If he feels better, he will raise his thumb and be among those available to challenge Antonio Conte. Naples and Maradona suggest adrenaline-filled memories to him: it would be sad not to take another plane with the team.
