"Seeing a teammate injured is never nice, but Zachary Athekame may be allowed to start for AC Milan as a result. No one profits from an injury, especially when it is someone like Alexis Saelemaekers, who is seemingly integral to Massimiliano Allegri's system. In fact, he has regularly been called the Italian's favourite at the club. However, after scans yesterday, Milan had it confirmed that he would miss this weekend's game at minimum, with up to a month on the sidelines possible."
"As Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) writes this morning, though, this offers a chance for someone else to prove themselves, and Athekame believes it could be his. The paper writes that the Swiss defender wants his first start to round off a fantastic week. As the only natural replacement on the right-hand side, the youngster may be given his first real opportunity, after a few cameos already this season."
Alexis Saelemaekers will miss at least this weekend's match for AC Milan after scans confirmed the injury, with the recovery potentially lasting up to a month pending further scans. Zachary Athekame, a Swiss defender, is the only natural replacement on the right side and may receive his first full start after several cameo appearances this season. Athekame views the absence as an opportunity to prove himself to the fans and coaching staff and hopes to round off a strong week with his first start. Early doubts about his arrival related to his youth and lack of seniority.
