Di Marzio: Milan anxiously await results of Saelemaekers’ scan – the games he could miss

AC Milan could be without Alexis Saelemaekers for a short period as he suffered an injury while playing for Belgium.

As was confirmed by the Belgian national team’s official account, Saelemakers has suffered an injury and will be unavailable for the match against Wales next week. As a result, he will leave the camp and return to Milanello.

Gianluca Di Marzio reports that it is a strained muscle that he has suffered. If confirmed by the scans back in Italy, the Belgian would therefore risk missing the Serie A match against Fiorentina and possibly the one against Pisa as well.

Milan resume their Serie A campaign on October 19th with the home match against Fiorentina at San Siro. Then, on October 24th, the Rossoneri will play at home again in the league, against Pisa this time. On October 28th a match against Atalanta follows, at the New Balance Arena in Bergamo.

That starts quite a daunting run of fixtures, with matches against Roma, Inter and Lazio following in the next four rounds. The hope for Massimiliano Allegri will be that it is a minor issue and that he can have the wing-back in the team for a crucial run of games.
