Saelemaekers Back in Training
Today, February 16, exciting news comes from Milanello: Alexis Saelemaekers has finally returned to full training. After recovering from an adductor injury, he has participated in an intense session with the rest of the squad, signaling his readiness to be included in the match against Como on Wednesday evening at San Siro.
A Crucial Recovery
This recovery comes at a vital time for the Rossonero season. Considered one of the players capable of beating defenders and creating numerical superiority, his on-field presence could be pivotal. Although there have been doubts about his final choice in plays, coach Max Allegri‘s confidence remains high as he has been a regular starter in the league prior to his injury.
Past Challenges
It’s worth noting that Saelemaekers injured himself while trying to rush back for a match against his former team, Roma. His eagerness to return resulted in him leaving the pitch at halftime due to renewed pain. After missing matches against Bologna and Pisa, his return brings great optimism to the squad.
Alternatives and Morale
In his absence, Atekame has stepped up, impressing during both matches he played. Still, the majority of fans agree that, when fit, Saelemaekers should start. Tactical options from Allegri might even see both players sharing time on the pitch.
Next Opponent: Como
Attention is warranted as Como is set to come to Milan with strong motivation. Coach Cesc Fàbregas seeks revenge after the previous 3-1 defeat, feeling especially aggravated by the game where they dominated possession without securing the desired result.
Focus on Absences and Formation
Allegri faces a delicate task with Rabiot suspended. Ricci appears to be the top contender to replace him, likely in competition with Loftus-Cheek. A careful approach from the Rossonero manager will be crucial in preparing the squad for this exciting showdown.
Doubt in Attack
In attack, Leão is recovering, and whether he can start remains an open question that will be clarified in the coming days. For Milan fans, discussions about the lineup against Como are of great importance and spark conversation.
We invite everyone to share their thoughts on the formation choices in the comments!
