Leao (calf) didn't reprise training regularly after the previous game and will stay on the mend for Saturday's tilt versus Lecce, La Gazzetta dello Sport relayed.

Leao isn't dealing with anything major but won't be risked given the delicacy of the area. It remains to be seen whether he'll go on international duties. Christian Pulisic and Santiago Gimenez will likely form the front line again, with Samuel Chukwueze as the lone backup.
