Yahoo Sports Tuttosport: Ibrahimovic could speak with Leao and Theo after Lazio incident – the situation
AC Milan are not going into the international break with the calmest of climates surrounding them, after going winless in their first three games and with an incident at the Stadio Olimpico dominating the news.
Tuttosport (via Calciomercato.com) this morning talk about absence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic which has caused a stir in a particularly tense moment. He did not accompany the team on the trip to Rome because he was on vacation, a situation that has caused some fans to ask questions.
Milan are not expected to fine Rafael Leao and Theo Hernandez for failing to join the rest of the team during the cooling break after the 2-2 goal, but an intervention is expected from Ibrahimovic and a slap on the wrist could arrive.
The Swede will probably have a discussion with the left-sided duo when they from their respective international commitments, to let them know about how their actions were perceived and the importance of remaining united.

In the meantime, Fonseca has washed his hands of the issue: “There is no problem and I think Theo has already explained. We must not create any problems, this week I spoke with the players who accepted the choice.
“There is no problem, I was focused and I did not see that they were there but I think Theo explained why. We do not create problems because there are none, the response of the players was good and we must not create problems when there are none. I do not run away with excuses and at this moment there is no problem.”
Milan see the matter as a closed case in terms of disciplinary action, while waiting for Ibrahimovic’s possible intervention upon his return from vacation, but the situation still needs to be monitored, also in relation to the possible reactions of the rest of the team to Theo and Leao’s gesture.
