Fonseca revealed whether Rafael Leão will play against Real Madrid

AC Milan head coach Paulo Fonseca has confirmed that winger Rafael Leão will play in the UEFA Champions League clash against Real Madrid tonight.

Details: Despite recent tensions, the Portuguese winger is expected to start at Santiago Bernabéu this evening.

Quote: “Leão? Yes, Rafa will be in the starting lineup today. We expect the same from him as always — that he can play a decisive role in the match,” — Fonseca said when asked about the player.

Background: Fonseca previously stated that there is no conflict between him and Leão, and that the winger’s recent benching was purely a tactical decision.

However, reports suggest that Leão is beginning to consider a potential exit from Milan. Clubs in Saudi Arabia and Barcelona remain interested in signing the Portuguese star.
