In Milan, which is struggling so much at the start of the season, there is always Rafael Leao.

On Saturday, in fact, Leao should return to the starting lineup. After the two benches in a row, Fonseca could deploy him from the first minute against Monza at the U-Power Stadium, relying on him to immediately return to winning ways in the championship and to prepare in a worthy manner for the trip to Madrid. Alongside the Portuguese, Pulisic will also return to the starting lineup with Chukwueze confirmed.
