Alexis Saelemaekers went to Amsterdam for a specialist consultation on his right ankle, with a view to possible surgery. AC Milan's Belgian winger underwent an examination with Professor GinoKerkhoffs, known for having already operated on Santiago Gimenez last December. The doctor has assessed the need for an operation and, if approved, Saelemaekers could return to the field as early as the day after the visit.
According to the information provided, the procedure would require a recovery period of approximately four months. This means that Milan will have to deal with the absence of Saelemaekers for a significant part of the season, with important implications for the squad and the game strategy. The club has already started planning how to replace the player on the pitch during his absence.
Professor Kerkhoffs, with experience in ankle surgery, expressed confidence in the success of the operation. However, the final decision will depend on the results of the examination and subsequent medical evaluations. Meanwhile, Milan continues to monitor the situation and prepare for the possible loss of a highly valued striker.
With the prospect of a long recovery period, Milan will have to review their team plan and consider the options available to compensate for the lack of Saelemaekers. The club remains vigilant and ready to react based on the evolution of the player's clinical situation.
