Leão Left Out as Milan Host Verona After Allegri Rejects 'Part-Time' Availability

Allegri prioritizes staying close to the Champions League places through March.

Overview

  • Allegri confirmed Rafael Leão will not be called up due to adductor discomfort that prevents him from sprinting at full speed.
  • The coach said he prefers not to use 'part-time' players, framing the omission as a matter of selection standards.
  • Milan face Verona at San Siro on Sunday at 12:30, with live coverage exclusively on DAZN.
  • New signing Niclas Fullkrug is eager but short of full fitness, with minutes targeted for the upcoming match at Cagliari.
  • Allegri highlighted a demanding stretch of nine games with only three at home, called Verona a difficult opponent, and urged defensive improvement.
