Still worries for Mike Maignan! And maybe bad news to come for AC Milan and the France team. While the Lombard club was pleased to recover, this Saturday against Monza, its titular goalkeeper arrested since September 22 due to a calf injury contracted in selection, the latter would be faced with a new physical glitch. According to information from Sky that we are able to confirm, the former Lille man felt pain in the same calf this Wednesday during training. Medical examinations are performed to determine the exact nature of the problem.
“I already wanted to play the match against Verona, out of caution I followed the advice of the medical staff but I want to be there against Monza,” said the Frenchman on Monday at the Calcio Grand Gala. Instead, there he is, expectant. According to some echoes from Milanello, AC Milan’s training center, the hypothesis of an absence of several weeks, synonymous with non-participation in the World Cup (November 20 – December 18), cannot, at this point, not be ruled out. In this sense, the next few hours promise to be decisive.
The staff of the Blues already deplores the packages of N’Golo Kanté and Boubacar Kamara for the World Cup. If the defection of Maignan, number 2 in the hierarchy of goalkeepers, is confirmed, the experienced Steve Mandanda (37 years old, 34 selections) would be in balance with the young Alban Laffont, called for the first time in September, for a place in the list communicated on November 9 alongside Hugo Lloris and Alphonse Areola.
