Despite the fact that Mike Maignan's medical condition has often worried Milan fans during his time in Milan, this time it was the French goalkeeper’s "hard" head that got in the way to protect the Rossoneri goal. That’s what the joking Mike himself says on social media: he’s fine and ready to start again, thanking God for being stubborn, as relayed via Milannews.it.
La Gazzetta dello Sport recounts his return to Milan after the alarming scare in Udine, with his discharge from the hospital at nine in the morning (he was kept only for observation). He traveled to the Lombard capital by car, relieved that no consequences had been found following the head trauma. The medical team will keep him in complete rest until Tuesday, with number 16 then set to report to Milanello for further evaluations.
Maignan will be able to train ahead of the Atalanta match and think about the second leg of the Coppa Italia derby.
Caution will be exercised, but the Club is confident they can count on him for high-profile matches. And to think that the stretcher at the Bluenergy Stadium had scared everyone, while he already knew he would be back soon. And here’s another positive note from the evening: the same stadium that a year earlier had been the scene of a racist incident, this time applauded the man.
