Football Italia reported AC Milan welcomed back Portuguese forward Rafael Leão during morning training sessions. The star player prepares for Sunday's Serie A encounter against Napoli at San Siro stadium. His return provides significant reinforcement after a prolonged absence from competitive action.
Leão sustained a calf muscle problem on August 17 while competing against Bari during Coppa Italia competition. The injury forced him to miss every league fixture this campaign. Meanwhile, Napoli faces defensive challenges as Alessandro Bungiorno suffered muscular damage during their recent Pisa encounter.
The upcoming fixture features teams separated by just three points in Serie A standings. Napoli currently occupies first position with 12 points from their opening matches. Milan sits third with nine points as both clubs compete for early season supremacy.
