Yesterday, AC Milan suffered a 1-3 defeat at home to Liverpool in the opening round of the Champions League, and the team's first-choice goalkeeper, Mike Maignan, was forced off due to injury. Today, it was revealed how long he will be sidelined.
Details: According to Sky Sports, Maignan has managed to avoid a severe calf muscle injury, which Milan's medical team initially feared. The French goalkeeper is expected to recover within two weeks.
Maignan is certain to miss the upcoming Serie A derby against Inter in the 5th round, which is scheduled for this Sunday. However, he should be ready for the 6th-round clash against Lecce.
Currently, Maignan's backup is 19-year-old Lorenzo Torriani, who made his professional debut in yesterday's match against Liverpool.
Reminder: Milan has earned only 5 points in the first 4 rounds of Serie A.
