The Belgian player Alexis Saelemaekers was the standout figure in last night’s victory over Lecce. The ex Bologna and Roma winger, at the peak of an excellent all-round performance, capped his display with a brilliant assist for Fullkrug’s goal in the 75th minute: a chest control followed by a perfectly measured cross, all in one touch. The only negative was his substitution due to injury in the 80th minute.
In fact, this morning, Alexis Saelemaekers underwent medical tests supervised by the Rossoneri medical staff. No lesions were found; it is a muscular strain in the left adductor. The condition of the strong right winger will be monitored throughout the week to track his recovery.
Will Saelemaekers be available for AC Milan in the match against Roma?
Allegri gave the team 48 hours of rest, so training at Milanello will resume on Wednesday to prepare for the tough away game at the Olimpico against Roma. All eyes will be on Saelemaekers: the ex Roma player is a major doubt for the clash with the Giallorossi. If he cannot play, the Swiss player Athekame is ready to start, which would mark his first-ever start in a Milan jersey, writes Calcio Mercato.
