AC Milan are facing a tense situation regarding the physical condition of their goalkeeper, Mike Maignan. The French shot-stopper left the field in pain during the second half of the match against Liverpool, with the score at 2-1, due to a collision with teammate Tomori that caused a strong contusion to his right thigh. Moreover, before being substituted, Maignan had shown signs of muscle problems after a clearance, remaining on the field but appearing less than flawless for the goals scored by Konaté and Van Dijk.
Calciomercato report how this marks the tenth physical issue Maignan has experienced since joining Milan in 2021. A wrist injury and various calf problems have often sidelined the talented French national team goalkeeper, who is on the verge of renewing his contract with the Rossoneri after months of negotiations.
Maignan’s injury was evaluated today at Milanello: it has been diagnosed as a contusive trauma to the right thigh. The good news is that tests have ruled out any lesions, indicating no serious problems for the French keeper. However, at the moment, Maignan is still considered doubtful for the upcoming derby.
With Marco Sportiello unavailable due to injury since before the start of the season, the role of second goalkeeper is currently filled by Lorenzo Torriani, a 19-year-old from Milan’s youth academy. Torriani made his Champions League debut and conceded a goal that was practically impossible to save from Szoboszlai, as the Hungarian’s shot was too close and well-angled.
