"Saelemaekers came off during Belgium's 0-0 draw with Macedonia and reports claimed he sustained issue with the flexor in his right leg, which created some worry. In fact, it initially seemed that he could be out for almost a month. However, he has been doing better since landing back in Italy and it was reported he could even play on Sunday."
"According to MilanNews, some positive news has come from Milanello regarding Saelemaekers this afternoon. He completed the entire training session with the group today, having worked on his own since returning. Therefore, presuming he also works with his team-mates in tomorrow's final training session, he will be available to Allegri for Sunday's match at San Siro against Fiorentina. If there were to be further setbacks then it would be over to Zachary Athekame to fill in the wing-back role on that side."
Alexis Saelemaekers left Belgium's 0-0 draw with Macedonia with a flexor issue in his right leg that prompted concern. Initial expectations suggested he could be sidelined for almost a month. After returning to Italy he has shown improvement and completed a full group training session at Milanello, having worked individually since his return. If he also trains with the squad in the final session he will be available for Sunday's San Siro match against Fiorentina. If further setbacks occur, Zachary Athekame is the likely substitute, having received a first senior Swiss call-up but not played.
