"Alexis Saelemaekers has been literally undroppable in the eyes of Massimiliano Allegri so far this season, and he hopes for another rapid recovery. As MilanNews write, aside from the goalkeeper and captain Mike Maignan, the player who has played the most minutes so far this season was not in the squad last year: Alexis Saelemaekers. Having returned from his loan at Roma, he has become critical to Allegri's tactical plans."
"It may seem incredible, but in the 25 matches Milan have played so far this season (21 in Serie A, three in the Coppa Italia, and one in the Supercoppa Italiana) Saelemaekers has always started . A total of 2,073 minutes of action. His relationship Allegri blossomed immediately: the coach, after two positive seasons with Bologna and Roma, identified the Belgian as the perfect fit for his right flank and even in May he gave instructions to close all doors to a potential permanent exit."
"After yet another great performance against Lecce, in which he provided a wonderful assist, Saelemaekers had to throw in the towel due to what he himself described as a muscular problem. More in-depth assessments revealed a strain in his left adductor, which will be monitored day to day. Fortunately for Milan, their next match is at the Olimpico against Roma in six days. On paper, there would be time to recover, even if it will not be easy."
Alexis Saelemaekers returned from a loan at Roma and has become central to Allegri's tactical plans, starting every match this season and totaling 2,073 minutes. Allegri identified him as the ideal right-flank option after solid seasons with Bologna and Roma and moved to prevent any permanent departure. Saelemaekers has shown growth, particularly mentally, and has emerged as one of the team's leaders and Allegri's protégés. He suffered a left adductor strain after creating an assist against Lecce; the injury will be monitored daily. Milan face Roma in six days, and previous rapid recoveries indicate a realistic chance of his availability.
