With his redemption from AC Milan yet to be finalized, però, Gian Piero Gasperini has guaranteed that the technical and corporate plans on the player have not changed.

"I certainly did not change my opinion after last night, even if he struggled and played not very well one time – Gasperini said on De Ketelaere, speaking from Rome at the UEFA Media Open Day ahead of the Europa League final -. The appreciations of all these months remain. Then in view of Bayer Leverkusen we will see what to do. He è available, like Scamacca, Lookman, Miranchuk, Touré. We have a few days to decide who will play, fortunately".

Gasperini then tried to explain what happened to De Ketelaere against Juventus: "Maybe he did not recover from the nervous point of view, or maybe from the physical one. It will have to be verified. In any case a reaction will be thereà. It will comeà in performance, and itè came yesterday as well. Unfortunately, forò, the result was not favorable to us".

"The example of De Ketelaere è perfect,” Gasperini continued. “Three days earlier, after the match with Roma, everyone extolled him. Then, for the performance with Juventus, è he was slaughtered. But you cannot è base it on the performance of a single game, the evaluation è much more extensive. In any case, we will discuss his future when the season is over".
