Big fright for Mike Maignan. The French goalkeeper suffered a head trauma on Friday evening, during the easy victory of AC Milan on the field of Udinese (0-4). Victim of a shock with his teammate Alex Jimenez, the former Lille was evacuated on a stretcher.
Everyone was very afraid in the stadium. And if Udinese supporters have been vilified in the past for certain racist incidents, their behavior was this time highlighted by Sergio Conceiçao, the Milanese coach.
“It was impressive. The player on the ground, the chaos around him … I have to congratulate the supporters of the Udinese,” the Portuguese told Sky Sports.
“I have rarely seen that”
“The player is one thing, the man is another, Pursued Conceiçao. We can huer the player, but not the man. These applause was an incredible gesture; In 40 years of football, I have rarely seen such a gesture. »»
This Saturday morning, the day after the incident, the news is good for Mike Maignan. The French goalkeeper “was out of Udine hospital and left for Milan at 9 am this morning,” said the Gazzetta. The tricolor international will stay at rest until Tuesday, but he should have time to recover before the next match, against Atalanta on Sunday, March 20.
