Ruben Amorim warns that Rafael Leao will face an uphill task to reclaim his place in AC Milan’s starting lineup. Speaking to Leao, Amorim says it will be “tough” to return to the team’s regular XI and emphasizes that the forward must work to earn opportunities.

Both outlets frame the message as a call for determination rather than a specific prediction about Leao’s immediate future. The warning highlights the competitive nature of selection at Milan, while Amorim’s comments stress that performance and persistence will decide whether Leao can regain a starting role.

While the two reports match closely on the core points—toughness of the challenge and the need to “fight”—they do not add differing details such as dates, specific match impacts, or tactical explanations. Overall, the coverage centers on Amorim’s direct guidance to Leao as he tries to re-establish himself within Milan’s squad.
