Injured with AC Milan, Mike Maignan is on his way back and should feature well in Didier Deschamps’ next list for the France team.
This is good news for the France team, Mike Maignan is doing better. The French goalkeeper has recovered from his thigh injury and will be in the AC Milan squad to face Lazio this weekend. He should even start for this meeting.
Operational again, Maignan will undoubtedly appear in the list unveiled next Thursday by Didier Deschamps for the Blues’ next two meetings, in the Netherlands in the Euro 2024 qualifiers, then against Scotland in a friendly. It was far from being certain when the former Lille player went out with an injury, around ten days ago, in the Champions League.
Maignan undefeated during these qualifiers
At that time, when Maignan requested the change even though he had not received any blows, there were fears of a calf relapse for the Milan goalkeeper. This injury kept him away from the field for many months last season, notably depriving him of the World Cup in Qatar. A new glitch in this muscular area would have been a terrible signal for the player trained at PSG.
On arrival, there is nothing serious for Maignan. And that’s good for the Blues who will be able to count on their number 1 goalkeeper to try to win in the Netherlands, and thus take a big step towards Euro 2024. Remember that Maignan has not conceded any goals during the first five matches of these qualifiers…
