Leão out for Milan's Serie A opener against Cremonese

Milan's Portuguese international forward, Rafael Leão, has been ruled out of the Rossoneri's first Serie A match of the season against Cremonese on Saturday (August 23) due to a calf injury, the Italian club announced (August 19).

The 26-year-old winger suffered a "strain in his right calf" during the first round Coppa Italia win against Bari (2-0) on Sunday, immediately after scoring the opening goal in the 14th minute.

"The player will not be available against Cremonese and his condition will be assessed daily before the next trip to Lecce (August 29)," Milan added.
