Overview

• Massimiliano Allegri said Leão will be in the squad for Sunday’s match against Napoli, noting the forward has been out for about 45 days and has yet to play in Serie A this season.
• Multiple reports indicate he is expected to begin on the bench and make a second‑half appearance at San Siro.
• Leão returned to full group training on Thursday and continued with the squad on Friday, according to Gazzetta’s account cited in Italian reports.
• The 26‑year‑old suffered a calf injury on August 17 in the Coppa Italia against Bari shortly after scoring, leaving him with just one appearance so far this campaign.
• Allegri tested Leão as a centre‑forward in pre‑season and could use him there if he features against Napoli, with a possible start at Juventus on October 5 contingent on his progress.
