Saelemaekers set for surgery – return expected in 2027

AC Milan have received another injury setback. According to MilanPress, new examinations on Alexis Saelemaekers’ ankle have shown a loss of stability in the affected area. The Belgian underwent surgery on the same ankle around two years ago, and following a new medical consultation, the decision has reportedly been made for him to undergo another operation. As a result, Saelemaekers is expected to be sidelined for an extended period and is not expected to return to action until 2027. It is a major setback for both the player and Milan, who will be without an important and versatile member of the squad.
