"Before the season began, a few doubted what AC Milan would be able to do without Theo Hernandez. However, the flanks look as good as ever. When Theo left, Milan were left without a recognised pair of full-backs. A seemingly inevitable situation, but it required some thought. So, Pervis Estupinan and Zachary Athekame were signed to help. However, it has not been them to star."
"Davide Bartesaghi and Alexis Saelemaekers have, potentially, been the duo of the season thus far. The wing-backs have been essential to big wins, and neither looks uncomfortable, despite not being naturals there. Tuttosport (via MilanNews) writes how the Rossoneri have experienced a 'renaissance' this season, and the duo have been key to it. The Belgian returned and Massimiliano Allegri requested that he be kept, considering him a starter."
AC Milan adapted to Theo Hernandez's departure by signing Pervis Estupinan and Zachary Athekame, though neither has become the standout. Davide Bartesaghi and Alexis Saelemaekers have emerged as an effective wing-back duo, contributing to big wins while looking comfortable out of their natural positions. Saelemaekers returned to the side, earning Massimiliano Allegri's trust as a starter through defensive alertness and forward aggression, prompting renewal discussions. Bartesaghi has impressed through patience, solid defending and high potential, benefitting from the Futuro system and likely securing his place for the near future.
