Milan got their first points of the season last night as they emerged 2-0 victors away at Lecce . Goals from Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christian Pulisic were enough to give returning head coach Massimiliano Allegri his first Serie A win back at the Rossineri.

Portuguese forward Rafael Leao continues to recover from an injury which has seen him miss the start of the season but the Milan star still keeps in touch with fans through his Twitch streams.

In his most recent stream, the winger was in good spirits, smiling and joking with viewers, he even revealed “The team won today, a nice victory. I disappeared because the coach spoke to me (laughs) and told me: ‘Don’t come on live too often!’ and Ibra as well. So today I think it’s a good reason to stream – all good, we won.”

From speculation to injury strife: Rafael Leao works to get back for Milan

It has been another summer of speculation for Leao, as once again the rumour mill churned out stories linking the forward with the Premier League, as well as PSG and Bayern Munich.

However, with no concrete offers and the Rossoneri determined to keep a hold of their star player, Leao will once again remain in Lombardy.

After kicking off Milan’s pre-season filling in at centre-forward, it was exciting to see how the forward could operate under Allegri. Fortunately, Leao should not be out much longer and has returned to individual training.
