The AC Milan squad celebrated in front of the Curva Sud at the end of the 4-1 win against Monza but there was a notable absentee as they took in the praise.
The icing on the cake should have been a fifth goal and a first for De Ketelaere when he was found totally unmarked inside the area yet the ball took a bounce that he didn’t read and he ended up slicing at thin air.
MilanNews report that the team gathered as usual in the centre of the field at the end of the game to thank the fans and then went to celebrate in front of the Curva. Everyone was present except De Ketelaere, who left the field with his head bowed as he was obviously disconsolate for the missed chance a few minutes earlier, and he went straight down the tunnel.
His disappointment was evident as he chose not to join in the post-match celebrations with his team, but it could also be an encouraging sign that he has a fire burning inside to contribute more.
