This season, AC Milan have been unlucky with injuries, but without a hectic schedule, the issues have been far less worrying. However, that luxury may go.
It feels like it has been a weekly issue, with Milan suffering from one injury or another. Even at times, there have been multiple to contend with, with some key players all struggling at once. However, each situation has been navigated.
This weekend, it was no different. Alexis Saelemaekers is the latest player to suffer from a problem, and he reported to Milanello yesterday to get the recovery process underway.
25 games, 23 injuries
As MilanNews writes, this is where we must take a step back. This season, the Rossoneri have played 25 games, and they have had to cope with 23 injuries. In a European season, things could have potentially been even worse.
In fact, the alarm bells may already be ringing, with the number of problems adding up, especially with a number of key players being notably absent this season.
Rafael Leao, Christian Pulisic and Adrien Rabiot have all missed several games this season. However, Christopher Nkunku, Youssouf Fofana, and even Matteo Gabbia have not been able to avoid the injuries.
It is far from a crisis situation, but with more strain in the calendar likely next season, the Diavolo must ensure they are ready to cope.
