Alexis Saelemaekers is back at Claudio Ranieri’s full disposal.

After making his first appearance off the bench against Tottenham a week ago, the Belgian winger is ready to feature in Claudio Ranieri’s starting line-up on Saturday.

In fact, Gazzetta dello Sport claims Saelemaekers will make his first start for Roma since September when he went down on Matchday 4 against Genoa on 15 September, suffering a broken ankle.

Almost three months later, the player is ready to contribute to Roma’s season.

The newspaper adds that the club are already thinking about making his transfer permanent, converting his and Tammy Abraham’s loan to Milan on a permanent basis.
