On the road to recovery but still needs time. Alexis Saelemaekers he works tirelessly to get back. As he writes Corriere dello Sport, next week the surgeon who operated on him in Belgium will view the MRI images of his ankle and will speak to Roma’s medical staff. For this reason it is difficult at the moment to imagine the presence of the former Milan player among the squad for the match in Naples.
Ranieri awaits him, the Belgian’s flexibility would be perfect as a full-back in a 3-5-2 but also for a possible 4-4-2. Saelemaekers has been out of action since 15 September, exactly two months, due to the fractured ankle suffered in the second half of the match against Genoa, Daniele De Rossi’s last match with the Giallorossi. The progress is there for all to see and today the Belgian also found the ball again.
Saelemaekers is getting closer to returning to the pitch, today he worked with the ball and published the images via his Instagram account. “Tic tac”, he wrote to us in support, because the countdown has really begun.
