Leao did not get on the bus and will not play against Inter

A Champions League semi-final is a match that every footballer dreams of playing at some point in his life. That's why Rafael Leao didn't want to give up and tried to speed up after suffering some discomfort in his adductor.

It was later confirmed that he had suffered an elongation, although it was hoped that he would be fit for the vital game against Inter Milan. However, as Sky Sport reported, despite the Portuguese travelling with the rest of the squad, he did not board the bus to the stadium with the players and coaching staff.

It is undoubtedly a major absentee for Pioli, who will have to look for a guaranteed solution in the starting eleven for one of the most important games of the season.

Several names have been put forward as his possible replacement, although in the last few hours it has been confirmed that Saelemaekers is going to replace the Portuguese. The Belgian is a regular replacement on the left wing, as Giroud will occupy the front of the 'Rossoneri' attack.
