The 21 year old joined Milan from Belgian side Club Brugge last summer but has had a difficult start to life in Italy.
He has appeared thirteen times in the Serie A with just a single assist to show and most of the games being substitute appearances from the bench.
The Rossoneri paid €32m for his services and fans have been disappointed with his output thus far.
His compatriot has now offered a bit of confidence in the attacking midfielder and says the World Cup break will help him get back to his best after having met with his family during the break.
Speaking during a recent interview with Sky Sport Italia, Saelemaekers said of his teammate: “It wasn’t easy in the last few months for him, but the break got him back on track, seeing his family was important. Now I see he is looking well, he will be important for us in the second half of the season.”
The Bruges born player scored 26 times and provided 25 assists for his boyhood club in 120 games before making the move to Milan.
