One of the key missions that AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli faces in 2023 is to get Charles De Ketelaere in good form, a report claims.
This morning’s edition of Libero (via MilanNews) has dedicated a column to De Ketelaere titled ‘Operation Redemption’. The Belgian should, all being well, return to the field for the Rossoneri on 4 January in Salerno when the season gets back underway.
De Ketelaere is ready to try and prove his worth at Milan and recover after both a disappointing first half of the season his national team’s disastrous World Cup in which they were dumped out in the group stages.
Milan’s attack could well be a bit short on options heading into the new year given that Zlatan Ibrahimovic has not yet recovered, Junior Messias has so far missed friendlies, Divock Origi now has a flexor issue and Olivier Giroud will arrive back late from the World Cup, so getting De Ketelaere in a groove of sorts would certainly be beneficial.
