Alexis Saelemaekers has had surgery on his right ankle after suffering an injury during the international break. The same ankle lost stability as a result of an operation he underwent in Rome two years ago after fracturing a malleolus. AC Milan said the latest operation was a complete success.
CalciomercatoTHE STATEMENT
AC Milan said: "AC Milan announce that today, in Amsterdam, Alexis Saelemaekers underwent surgery on his right ankle.

Recovery times
The former Anderlecht, Bologna and Roma player faces between three and four months on the sidelines. If all goes well, he will return to action in February 2027.
