Antonio Vitiello, Milan News correspondent, has published his latest video on his podcast channel, discussing recent developments at Milan.

Below is the first half of the video's full content:

Hello everyone. This morning, the team resumed training at Milanello. However, on this first day back, there was an injury, which is quite unfortunate.This isn't a muscular issue, but rather a traumatic injury. In this video, we'll go deeper into this because we've received the final diagnostic results from Alexis Saelemaekers' instrumental examination.It was this Belgian player who suffered an ankle injury during today's training session.Initial reports suggested something more serious than what was ultimately found.

Initial reports suggested something more serious than what was ultimately found, but according to the examination results, it's only an ankle distortion. Here's the official statement from the club:"Alexis Saelemaekers sustained a traumatic distortion of the right ankle during today's training session."

Of course, we need to understand how each player responds to such injuries. After all, it's a distortion and needs proper attention.But everyone should know that with this type of injury, the most important thing is to immediately rule out serious damage. As long as significant tissue damage is ruled out, that's already a positive outcome.Indeed, the instrumental examination ruled out bone damage and ligament injuries, so there are neither fractures nor ligament problems.

We already have good news because with this type of injury, people often worry immediately about being sidelined for one, two, or even three months.For Saelemaekers, while it's unfortunate that he was injured on the first training session after Amorim gave the team a week off, at least the examination results have ruled out the worst-case scenario.His recovery will now be assessed day by day.

What does this mean? It means Saelemaekers will use the 10-day international break before the October 11 match against Sassuolo to recover.In my opinion, 10 days is actually quite a bit of time. Today is September 29, so he was injured on the 29th, and Milan's next match is Sunday, October 11 against Sassuolo, which is actually 12 days away.If we're willing to wait not just 12 days but 15 days, there's also the Europa League away match against Salzburg, and he could potentially return by then. About 15 days to rest and recover from this distortion could be ideal.However, I must emphasize that given how the initial news was reported and discussed, it seemed much more serious at the time. Fortunately, the instrumental examination ruled out bone damage and ligament injuries.

You can also share your thoughts in the comments section, but in general, injuries are part of the sport.Previously, Alexis Saelemaekers didn't participate in international matches, which gave us hope he could avoid injuries, right? Because when players go on international duty, there's always worry and anxiety, fear they might get injured. Yet he was injured at Milanello, on the first training session after the break Amorim gave the team.

Now he must recover and work hard to return as quickly as possible. In my view, he himself is very eager to come back quickly, as he's lost his starting position at Milan and his regular spot for Belgium. He likely wanted to use this break to regain his position at Milan.Under Max Allegri last season, Saelemaekers was a regular starter playing as a right winger in the 3-5-2 formation. In Amorim's current 3-4-2-1 system this season, the Belgian player is not considered for the external midfield role. Instead, Amorim sees Saelemaekers as a potential attacking midfielder. So let's wait and see.
