AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli is confident Rafael Leao is okay after being forced off in victory over Lazio.

Milan face Inter Milan in the first-leg of their Champions League semifinal this week.

He was smiling and he was feeling ok, I hope tomorrow he will come to the training ground feeling good," said Pioli.

I trust him and I hope he will be there tomorrow. He stopped because he felt something, hopefully, he stopped in time; we'll see tomorrow.

I respect your job, but Rafa was feeling ok and these things happen. I didn't deploy a player who wasn't fit. Hopefully, it's nothing serious and I hope he plays on Wednesday."
