Antonio Vitiello, a MilanNews.it correspondent, released his latest video on his podcast channel, discussing new developments at Milan.

Below is the first half of the full video content:

Hello everyone. This morning, the team resumed training at the Milanello training center. However, on the very first day of resumed training, an injury occurred, which is indeed a bit unlucky.This was not a muscular issue, but a traumatic accident. In this video, we will delve deeper into this topic because we have received the final diagnosis from Alexis Saelemaekers' medical examinations.It was this Belgian player who suffered an ankle injury during training today.To be honest, the initial reports made the situation seem more serious than it actually turned out to be. However, according to the examination results, it is just an ankle sprain.

Below is the official announcement from the club: "Alexis Saelemaekers suffered a traumatic sprain to his right ankle during today's training session."

Of course, it will be necessary to see how each player responds to this type of injury. After all, a sprain certainly requires sufficient attention.But everyone should know that when this type of injury occurs, the most important thing is to immediately rule out severe damage. As long as severe tissue damage is ruled out, that's already a positive result.

In fact, the medical examinations have ruled out bone damage and ligament damage, so there are neither fractures nor ligament injuries.This is a good result, because when this type of injury occurs, people often immediately worry about being sidelined for one, two, or even three months.So for Saelemaekers, although it was unlucky that he got injured in the first training session after Amorim gave the team a week off, at least the examination results ruled out the worst-case scenario.Now, his recovery will be assessed day by day.

What does this mean? Saelemaekers will have the 10-day international break before Milan's October 11 match against Sassuolo to recover.In my opinion, 10 days is significant: he was injured on the 29th, and Milan's next match is Sunday, October 11, against Sassuolo, giving him 12 days to recover.If we wait until the Europa League away match against Salzburg, he could have up to 15 days, which should be sufficient to recover from this sprain.

However, I must emphasize that initial reports made the situation sound much more serious. Fortunately, the medical examinations ruled out bone and ligament damage.Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments, but overall, injuries are part of the game.

Previously, Alexis Saelemaekers did not participate in national team matches, which was a silver lining. When players report to the national team, there's always worry and anxiety about potential injuries. Yet, he got injured at Milanello during the first training session after Amorim gave the team more than a week off.

Now he needs to recover and return as soon as possible. In my opinion, he's very eager to come back, because he's lost his starting position at Milan and his starting spot in the national team. He likely wanted to use this break to regain his place at Milan.Amorim has previously deployed him in the attacking midfield position rather than as a winger.

If Saelemaekers was a regular starter playing as a right wing-back in Allegri's 3-5-2 formation last season, under Amorim's 3-4-2-1 formation this season, the Belgian player is not considered a wide midfielder. Instead, Amorim believes Saelemaekers can only play as an attacking midfielder, so let's wait and see how it develops.
