In Riyadh, the Portuguese player trained separately, and everything suggests he won’t take the field tomorrow
Rafa Leao is 99.9% certain to miss tomorrow night’s Super Cup semifinal against Napoli. During today’s session at Princess Nourah Stadium, a venue near Riyadh Airport, the Portuguese player was not on the field with his teammates and trained separately before the session began. Everything suggests, therefore, that he won’t even be on the bench tomorrow night or that, if he is included in the roster, it will only be to be close to his teammates and watch the match from a… privileged position.
injury—  – Leao injured his right adductor nine days ago in Turin, during the match against Torino. Tests ruled out any serious injury, but he has not yet fully recovered. However, Allegri hopes to have him available should the team qualify for the final on Monday, December 22. In any case, he does not intend to risk him because January will be packed with matches following the game against Verona on December 28.
