Paulo Fonseca unhappy with Rafael Leão and will bench him again

Milan's star forward Rafael Leão will once again find himself on the bench for the match against Monza. In the last two matches, he has played only 29 minutes on the field.

Details. Milan's coach Paulo Fonseca does not trust Rafael Leão and plans to leave him on the bench for the next Serie A match. The Portuguese forward, who has scored just one goal in eleven matches across all competitions this season, is set to remain on the bench for the third consecutive time.

According to the Italian press, head coach Paulo Fonseca has criticized Leão for a lack of defensive activity. Therefore, the Portuguese manager, who joined Milan this summer, prefers Noah Okafor in the attacking position.
