Amorim warns Leao ‘it will be tough’ to reclaim his Milan position: ‘He has to fight’

Ruben Amorim has cautioned his fellow countryman Rafael Leao that it will be difficult for him to regain his place in Milan's starting lineup after missing out on a recent friendly win over Manchester United. The Portuguese international was sidelined due to a muscular issue, which has further clouded his future at the club. After the 4-2 victory, Amorim expressed his contentment with the team's performance and highlighted the competition for positions, particularly mentioning Samuel Chukwueze, Alphadjo Cisse, and Saelemaekers.

He emphasized that Leao would need to put in a fight to secure his spot in the starting eleven. With only two weeks left in the summer transfer window, Leao's future remains uncertain, and he may still be with Milan as the new season kicks off.
