"Milan have left the international window looking a bit bruised, and there is still a handful of games and players left to watch. So, there is a possibility that further assessments will have to be made. Of course, the hope is that that is not the case. Regardless of this, the Rossoneri are competing with one of the biggest issues in the squad currently, and Allegri is left questioning a decision."
"Saelemaekers, as reports have already confirmed, is awaiting a scan to see the extent of his muscle strain. He may only miss two games, but his importance is unmatched in the team, arguably. So, a change would have to be made. Tuttosport (via MilanNews) report that three possibilities are being considered. The first would see Zachary Athekame start in the Belgian's place, but the question Allegri has is, is he ready to start?"
Milan have returned from the international window with concerns and several players and games still to assess. Saelemaekers is awaiting a scan to determine the extent of a muscle strain and could miss around two matches, despite being a key figure in the squad. Milan are considering three options to cover his absence. The first option is to start Zachary Athekame in Saelemaekers' place. If Athekame is judged not ready, the coach would alter the formation to a 4-4-2 or a 4-3-3, with Christian Pulisic shifting back to the right. If a 4-3-3 is chosen, Rafael Leao could return to the starting XI if match-fit.
