Calciomercato.com reports that Leao will return to the starting XI against Empoli.

The Portuguese star was initially benched in the latest Champions League match but scored a key goal after his introduction from the bench in the second half.

Alvaro Morata will also return to the starting XI after serving a one-match ban in the Champions League.

Emerson Royal is expected to replace Davide Calabria in the right-back position.

Only Luka Jovic, Alessandro Florenzi and Ismael Bennacer won’t be available for Milan against Empoli on Saturday, November 30.
