French is one of the greatest reference points in the locker room but, apart from last season, has always lived important physical problems. In ’22 -23 he lost five months. Meanwhile, the renewal remains on stand by
The scene is always the same: he sits on the ground in the middle of the area, with a distant ball, draws the attention of the referee and his companions, he parades the gloves and awaits the arrival of the health workers. It is a sad sequence that the Rossoneri fans have despite them learned to relive several times since Mike Maignan is on the goal. To tell the truth there were also occasions when there was nothing serious and he had then started playing: this is not the case. Waiting for the next few days they better clarify the situation, Milan prepare to lose its goalkeeper again for a period of time that should not be too long, but which at the moment is not yet possible to quantify. The calf, a treacherous muscle in general, and muscle in particular that in the past has already made the French has already made the French has been in the past. It was the stumbling block that partially ruined the comforting Rossoneri evening with Bologna embellished by Maestro Modric. Mike at minute number 11 of the second half left the door to Terracciano and it was immediately understood that the situation was not very simple: he could not even go down the stairs that lead to the tunnel of the changing rooms. Then he left Meazza in crutches.
long list
–
In these four years the Maignan Rossoneri has shown several faces of himself: that of the senator, of the perfectionist, of the para-refined, from saved-resources, but also the doubtful one when it comes to renewal (which now continues to stay on stand by) and the poor one in medical terms. Last season, among those spent in Milanello, was the best in this sense: only a skipped game – the Sassuolo in the Italian Cup for an intervention to the teeth -, but scrolling back the historian puts a certain impression. In 2023-24 he ended up in the pits four times: resentment to flexors, fatigue, injury to the adductor and dislocation to a finger of the hand. Jumping games: 7. But the real disaster is that of the previous year: during France-Austria the medial twin lesion of the left calf, which then reincarnates in an injury to the Soleo of the same calf. The controversy chasing each other: it was he who wanted to force the times; No, Milan was not very cautious. The fact is that Mike remains to look for an eternity: 5 months. That is, 23 games, including those of Champions League, from which the club obviously depends it in terms of lists. Finally, in his first adventure with the Devil ends up in the pits for another 9 games due to a pulse ligament injury, which also forces him to surgery.
important number

Total games skipped for physical trouble (excluding national): we are at 40, which in four years are several. Figure destined to climb with those that the French will jump from now on. How is Milan go without him? The first few times the Milan world was putting their hands in the hair, now it is no longer so. The absence remains important but in Milan there is no city mourning. And in the past, those who replaced it also had the opportunity to be appreciated. For example, Tatarusanu parò a penalty in Lautaro, while Torriani took the satisfaction of debuting the first team even Champions League against Liverpool.
