Maignan to rest after serious injury due to regulations
In the match against Udinese, Mike Maignan collided with his Milan teammate Alejandro Jimenez and was carried off the field on a stretcher. Although examinations showed no abnormalities, the Frenchman will still have to rest.
Details: The issue lies in a special protocol for suspected concussions, which, according to Gianluca Di Marzio, applies to Maignan. The Milan goalkeeper, following this protocol, will have to rest for a week from training, meaning he will miss the match against Atalanta.
Today, the Frenchman is set to undergo another CT scan to rule out any head injury repercussions. If all goes well, Maignan will play in the Derby della Madonnina in the Coppa Italia semi-final next Wednesday.
Reminder: Maignan is one of six Milan players with uncertain futures, as his contract runs until the summer of 2026.
