Tijjani Reijnders has been one of AC Milan’s best players at the start of this season, moving all over the pitch to help his teammates. In fact, stats show that he has covered a lot of ground.
The Milan management recognized the Dutchman’s stamina and physique were two of his primary characteristics when they acquired him from AZ Alkmaar this summer. Despite his diligent work, he didn’t miss a single game last season due to injuries.
Reijnders is one of the players who have traveled the most distance so far this season, ranking third with an average of 12.5km per game, according to the Serie A website. Only Nicolas Haas (Empoli, 13km) and Ylber Ramadani (Lecce, 12.8km) are in front of him.
Reijnders is anticipated to begin playing in Milan’s upcoming match against Inter. The 25-year-old will be an important player because the game will probably be intense and require quick transfers from defence to attack and vice versa.
