When will we see Mike Maignan on the pitch again? The question still has no answer. Absent since September 22, 2022 and an injury contracted during a League of Nations match between France and Austria, nothing has changed on the side of the former Lille resident. The probable future number 1 of the Blues, since the retirement of Hugo Lloris, must always deal with muscle problems in the calf.
Although things seem to be improving. Not enough however to consider a return of Mike Maignan. The Milan leaders were hoping their starting goalkeeper would return for the February 14 deadline when the first leg against Tottenham awaits them. But according to the Gazzetta dello Sport, it will be necessary to bet on March 8, date of the return match in England.
This means that Mike Maignan is still in the race to take part in the gathering of the Blues planned for the end of March in the run-up to the two qualifying matches for Euro 2024 against the Netherlands on March 24 and then in Ireland three days later. late.
For the Milanese club, the return of Mike Maignan has become an absolute priority since the interim provided by the Colombian Devis Vasquez has confirmed the hierarchy of goalkeepers at AC Milan. With 19 goals conceded in the month of January alone and this is a record in the history of the club, the Rossoneri launched the open door operation in defense despite themselves.
