Milan’s Injury update: Morata, Okafor, and Calabria set to return for Leverkusen clash

AC Milan’s convincing 3-0 victory over Lecce in Serie A has set a positive tone as they shift focus to their upcoming Champions League fixture against Bayer Leverkusen. Manager Paulo Fonseca now aims to secure the team’s first points in the new Phase League after their opening loss to Liverpool.

The Rossoneri face a challenging away match against Xabi Alonso’s Bundesliga champions, who recently held Bayern Munich to a draw. As Milan prepares for this crucial encounter, there are encouraging updates from the medical staff regarding key players.

Calciomercato report that Davide Calabria and Noah Okafor, both absent from the Lecce match, are expected to return for the Leverkusen clash. Their recovery from injuries has been confirmed by their participation in the morning training session with the squad.

Alvaro Morata’s condition is also promising. The Spanish striker, who left the field during the Lecce game with thigh edema, has shown no significant physical issues. The medical staff applied ice immediately after the incident, and current indications suggest Morata will be available for the trip to Germany.

These returns could provide a significant boost to Milan’s chances against Leverkusen. Fonseca will be particularly pleased to have additional options in attack and defense as he strategizes for what promises to be a tough European night at the BayArena.
