According to MilanNews, some positive news has come from Milanello regarding Saelemaekers this afternoon. He completed the entire training session with the group today, having worked on his own since returning.

Therefore, presuming he also works with his team-mates in tomorrow’s final training session, he will be available to Allegri for Sunday’s match at San Siro against Fiorentina.

If there were to be further setbacks then it would be over to Zachary Athekame to fill in the wing-back role on that side. He had a more positive break, having been summoned to the senior Swiss national team for the first time, though he did not come off the bench against Slovenia.
