"Saelemaekers is clearly irreplaceable for Massimiliano Allegri, as shown by the fact that he has started 21 games out of 21 in Serie A. However, last Sunday, against Lecce, he left the pitch early after suffering a hamstring strain. His injury is nothing serious, but his availability for the trip to the Stadio Olimpico at the weekend remains uncertain. The Belgian - who played for Roma last season, scoring seven goals - also trained individually yesterday."
"It would be a positive sign to see him back with the group today, confirming a rapid recovery. However, if he continues with individual work, it's unlikely he'll be back on the pitch as soon as Sunday. Zachary Athekame would come in his place. Strahinja Pavlovic, however, will be back. He was injured against Fiorentina after an aerial collision with Comuzzo, he missed the Como match and was on the bench last Sunday."
Saelemaekers has started all 21 Serie A matches and is considered irreplaceable by Allegri. He left the recent Lecce match early with a hamstring strain. The injury is not serious, but his availability for the weekend trip to the Stadio Olimpico is uncertain. The Belgian trained individually and his return will depend on how he feels and responds to training. A return to group training would indicate rapid recovery. Continued individual work would likely rule him out for Sunday, with Zachary Athekame as a potential replacement. Strahinja Pavlovic is ready to return after a head injury and may wear protective headgear.
