According to previous reports, Giovanni Leoni suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear and is set to be sidelined for several months. This injury has forced Leoni to temporarily bid farewell to the pitch, and he will strive to make a comeback before the end of the season.
Due to Leoni’s serious injury, Federico Chiesa will be added as a replacement to the team’s Champions League squad. Under UEFA’s new regulations, if a player in the Champions League squad is expected to be sidelined for at least 60 days due to injury, the club is eligible to replace that player. This rule applies to the first 6 rounds of the Champions League Group Stage.
