The international break has been far from kind to Milan.
First came Pochettino’s announcement regarding Christian Pulisic's physical condition, though the American still featured in the friendly against Ecuador. Then came fresh worries, with Pervis Estupiñán picking up an injury, and he wasn’t the only one.
In fact, the Turin-based daily Tuttosport ran the following headline:
“Saelemaekers out, returning to Milan.”
The Belgian played 60 minutes in a flat draw against North Macedonia before being forced off. The club will assess the issue, believed to be a flexor problem, but all signs point to him missing the match against Fiorentina once Serie A resumes.
