Milan Team News: Leao Out for Torino Clash with Adductor Issue
Star forward Rafael Leao will be unavailable for AC Milan's Serie A fixture against Torino this Saturday, following discomfort in his right adductor that prevented him from participating in training.
The Portuguese international is scheduled for further medical evaluation on Saturday to ascertain the full scope of his muscle ailment. The club is keen to determine the potential duration of his absence before making any official statements.

Leao has proven to be one of Milan's most crucial performers throughout the current campaign, and his absence will undoubtedly be felt. However, the club remains hopeful that the injury is not severe enough to sideline him for an extended period.
