Overview

  • The club’s medical bulletin says Leão sustained a right calf elongation in the Coppa Italia match against Bari.
  • He is ruled out for Saturday’s game against Cremonese and will be evaluated day by day for the August 29 trip to Lecce.
  • Reporting indicates he is unlikely to be risked at Lecce to prevent a longer layoff.
  • Tests were described as showing a more complex issue than first thought, with a post‑break return targeted on September 14 against Bologna, according to reports.
  • Leão left the Bari tie after 17 minutes following discomfort shortly after scoring.
