"I have a defensive option with Jacquez and an offensive option with Athekame. It will depend on how the match develops."
"He's a very interesting player, I've been following him closely, and he's showing positive growth. He has great energy and is tactically intelligent,"
Zachary Athekame is in contention to start for AC Milan against Fiorentina due to Alexis Saelemaekers' availability issue and has received a first senior Switzerland call-up. Coach Yakin identified him as an attacking wing-back option with energy and tactical intelligence. Athekame has logged 60 minutes across three matches this season (Coppa Italia vs Lecce, league vs Udinese and Napoli) and handled pressure when introduced after a red card against Napoli. Allegri is considering him for selection despite limited experience. At 20 years old, progress is evident at both club and international levels, though experience and discipline remain factors.
