What about Rafael Leao? That's what all Milan fans must be wondering about their star player, who has disappeared from Fonseca's starting line-up in recent matches.
The Rossoneri coach has decided to leave the Portuguese winger out of the starting XI for the second time in a row in Serie A, something that could be repeated this Saturday against Monza. It would be the third time in the last four games, counting all competitions.
'La Gazzetta dello Sport' has revealed that Okafor will start this Saturday's match and talks about the relationship between the new Rossoneri coach and the number 10 of the squad.
"Is Leao still on the bench? The reason is simple to explain. It's the coach's choice, he thinks it's better to start the game with Okafor. There is no conflict between us, it's just the coach's choice. We try to motivate him in different ways," he said after the defeat to Napoli.
It was precisely that substitution that raised all the suspicions. He did not play at all against Udinese, but it was blamed on rotations. Against Napoli, in a key match for the Serie A championship, he came off the bench with the score against him.
