De Ketelaere criticised by Italian papers after fatal error against Roma

It was a tough evening for Charles De Ketelaere yesterday as he came off the bench in AC Milan’s 1-1 draw against Roma. He didn’t add much up front and made a mistake on the home side’s goal, as the Italian papers highlights. 

De Ketelaere replaced Ismael Bennacer in the 75th minute, but failed to add anything up front as he always opted for the simple pass. And in the 94h minute, he was bodied off the ball by Gianluca Mancini and Roma countered with great success.

The Belgian can consider himself lucky that his compatriot Alexis Saelemaekers made sure Milan got at least one point from the game. But he can’t hide from the criticism, as highlighted in today’s ratings by the Italian papers (via MilanNews).

Gazzetta dello Sport: 5.5
Tuttosport: 5
Corriere della Sera: 5
Corriere dello Sport: 5.5

In our ratings, De Ketelaere got a 4.5 as it was really a rookie mistake to lose the ball that easily and in that position. We can only hope that he will do better next time, but the question is when he will get that chance.
