Rafael Leao
27-Year-Old
AC Milan
Serie A
One-game ban expected
Leao is expected to serve a one-game suspension for the friendly against Nigeria after being sent off in the first half of Portugal's friendly against Chile following a confrontation, putting him on track to be available for Portugal's World Cup opener against Congo on June 17, according to Record.
ANALYSIS
Leao ended the Serie A season with nine goals and three assists across 29 appearances for AC Milan as the club's top scorer in the league, and Portugal will be relieved to have their most dangerous wide attacker available from the very first fixture of the tournament. FIFA is expected to follow the same approach applied to Curacao's Jurgen Locadia last week, limiting the punishment to a single match rather than the standard two-game ban for a straight red card.
