AC Milan have revealed that Belgium international midfielder Alexis Saelemaekers may require further surgery on his right ankle, following tests that showed the joint has lost stability since his medial malleolus fracture surgery in September 2024. The 26-year-old winger is currently undergoing specialist assessment to determine the best course of treatment, with a possible second operation to stabilize the ankle being the most likely outcome.
This news comes as a significant blow to Milan, as Saelemaekers was attempting to re-establish himself in the first team after loan spells at Bologna and Roma. The injury concerns add to the club's growing list of woes, with goalkeeper Pervis Estupinan also withdrawing from the Ecuador national team due to a knee injury sustained during international duty.
