Alexis Saelemaekers is back in force with Roma. He scored once again this weekend against Parma.
For almost three months, Alexis Saelemaekers was kept on the sidelines by his ankle injury, which required surgery. Already a scorer two weeks ago, he is relishing this return to competition.
Claudio Ranieri already counts a lot on him, could Domenico Tedesco (or his successor) do the same in the national team? His last match with the Devils was more than a year ago.
“If you are putting together a core group for qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, shouldn’t it be there?” asks Filip Joos on the set of Extra Time. “Because if you are in a situation of inferiority, he is the ideal joker. He can occupy 4 to 5 positions.”
One plus one group
Hein Vanhaezebrouckwho knew Saelemaekers well at Anderlecht for launching his professional career, and who many observers would see as a potential coach, could not be clearer: “With me, he would always be part of the selection.”
Frank Boeckx also rubbed shoulders with him at Neerpede: “He would get along with all the big names, because he's so cool. It's easy to get along with him. Off the field, he's also a great man with a heart of gold.
