Saelemaekers will travel to Amsterdam in the coming hours for an important consultation regarding his injured ankle with Professor Gino Kerkhoffs, the same doctor who operated on Santiago Gimenez in December 2025. The Belgian suffered the injury during a training session last week, affecting the same ankle he underwent surgery on in 2024.
Decision tomorrow:
Barring any surprises, Saelemaekers will undergo surgery tomorrow, with Professor Gino Kerkhoffs set to perform the procedure. The former Roma player is then expected to be sidelined for around four months, a significant blow for Ruben Amorim, who had been working extensively on reinventing him as an attacking midfielder. Milan risk losing a quality option in the attacking midfield position for an extended period, as pointed out by those at the Italy-based website Calcio Mercato.
