MN: Saelemaekers trains alone again as Como game draws nearer – the situation

Alexis Saelemaekers was hoped to be back in training by now. However, the AC Milan wingback is still not back with the group.

It has been a tricky season with injuries for Milan, and recent weeks have shown this further with many key players struggling to some degree. Unfortunately, Saelemaekers has now joined the list of players to record an absence.

The Belgian has been struggling with adductor pain and has been training alone since. Of course, he temporarily returned against Roma a fortnight ago, but he was removed at halftime due to the issue flaring up again.

Since then, it has been a case of gradually getting back to health.

Saelemaekers alone again

It was hoped, then, that he would be back shortly, but it seems that this week’s game could be too soon as well. According to MilanNews, the Belgian trained alone once again today, rather than joining a group environment.

Of course, there is still plenty of time for his recovery before Wednesday, but given the intensity of his position, it makes little sense to risk him again if he is not 100%. After all, that was the case against Roma and he lasted 45 minutes.

In a key period of the season, Massimiliano Allegri will not risk him.
