Assists against Verona Saelemaekers assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-1 victory over Verona.

Impact Saelemaekers tallied his third Serie A assist during the 2022/23 season finale, his first goal contribution since April. The midfielder played a consistent role, though he was off the bench more often than not making 30 appearances (14 starts.) It's a disappointing return for Saelemaekers who has seen his playing time decrease over his last three seasons with Milan. Despite that Saelemaekers still produced five goal contributions and added 32 tackles, 19 clearances and six clearances. Heading into 2023/24 Saelemaekers will need to take a step forward to return to a more consistent starting role.

Impact Saelemaekers was the main driving force of the offense in a lineup filled with reserves and led his side in all the main offensive categories, but he didn't manage to break through and wasn't involved in the lone goal. He has scored once and added ten shots (three on target), six chances created, 13 crosses (four accurate), and four corners in the last five games (two starts).

Scores against Napoli Saelemaekers scored one goal to go with three shots (three on goal) and one interception in Sunday's 4-0 win over Napoli.

Impact Saelemaekers came in for Brahim Diaz and sealed the deal with a tidy finish after slaloming through multiple defenders for his third goal of the season and the first since mid-September.

Passable versus Udinese Saelemaekers drew three fouls and recorded one shot (one on goal) and four crosses (one accurate) in Saturday's 1-3 defeat versus Udinese.

Impact Saelemaekers was decently energetic and often got open on the flank, but he wasn't particularly impactful. He got consistent minutes lately, but Junior Messias will be back after the break. He has logged one assist, two shots (one on target), five chances created, and 11 crosses (two accurate) in the last five fixtures.

MARCH 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pretty good versus Salernitana Saelemaekers won one of two tackles and had one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (two accurate), and three chances created in Monday's 1-1 draw against Salernitana.

MARCH 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Assist as substitute Saelemaekers assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Fiorentina.

Impact Saelemaekers didn't get the start, and his competitor Junior Messias scored, but he provided great energy when he subbed on.

He has recorded two shots (one on target), two chances created, six crosses (two accurate), and 11 tackles (eight won) in the last five games (three starts).

FEBRUARY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Energetic versus Torino Saelemaekers won four of six tackles and 12 duels and one off-target shot and two inaccurate crosses in Friday's 1-0 victory over Torino.

He has logged two goals, one assist, 12 shots (five on target), and 18 crosses (five accurate) in 12 matches.

Impact Saelemaekers is completing the rehab from a knee sprain and will re-join the rest of the group in the next few days, the outlet adds.

Milan are just being cautious given the time remaining before the next game.

DECEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Diagnosed with MCL sprain Saelemekers suffered a MCL sprain in the left knee and might not return before the World Cup, Goal reports.

Impact Saelemaekers faces a four-to-six weeks timetable, so he has an outside to be back in early November, but it'll depend on how the rehab goes. Rade Krunic replaced him Saturday since the other regular in the role Junior Messias was out with a minor calf problem. Ante Rebic and Charles De Ketelaere can also fill in at the position in a pinch.
