Amorim Sends Strong Message to Leão

Ruben Amorim, Milan's coach, stated that Rafael Leão is still in the team's plans, but he will face strong competition for his position in the starting lineup.

Amorim stated: "Rafael Leão is our player, and we are happy to have him with us, but he will need to fight for his place in the starting lineup."

He added: "Cisse's performance will make Leao's task more difficult. Saylmakers has changed his position, and Pulisic will also return, so there will be very strong competition for this spot."

Amorim's statements indicate that Leão will not guarantee a starting place in Milan's lineup, given the increasing competition for attacking positions and the return of Pulisic, alongside the impressive performances of Cissé and the positional change of Saelemaekers.
