"Thankfully scans ruled out anything serious, and the typical 'monitor day by day' treatment was prescribed by the medical staff. Some good news emerged on Friday: the wing-back returned to training with the rest of the squad and therefore his place in the matchday squad seems certain. Given Massimiliano Allegri likes to exercise caution (see Strahinja Pavlovic, among others) there's a strong chance he will not start."
"Saelemaekers headed to the capital on a season-long dry loan with Tammy Abraham coming the other way on the same terms. His time with the Giallorossi was a tale of two halves. In the first part of the campaign he struggled along with the team, then he racked up seven goals and seven assists by the end of 2024-25, with Claudio Ranieri using him effectively as a wing-back."
Saelemaekers limped off with an adductor issue but scans showed no serious damage and day-by-day monitoring was advised. He returned to full training and looks set to be included in the matchday squad, though manager Massimiliano Allegri may choose caution and not start him. Saelemaekers has started all 21 league games in 2025-26, highlighting his role on Milan's right flank. He spent 2024-25 on loan at Roma, where he recovered from a slow spell to finish with seven goals and seven assists while playing as a wing-back under Claudio Ranieri. Roma's bid to sign him permanently failed.
