He will therefore not have played again before the announcement of Didier Deschamps’ list for the Euro on May 16 (at 8 p.m. on TF1). Absent since April 27, Mike Maignan, the goalkeeper of the Blues and AC Milan injured in the adductor will, in principle, not make his return with AC Milan this Saturday against Cagliari. Wishing not to take any risks with their number 1 goalkeeper, the Lombard staff should renew Macro Sportiello.
The Blues goalkeeper should only return to competition on May 19 during the trip to Torino. He will then have one more meeting to play with the current 2nd in Serie A on May 26 at San Siro against Salernitana. The start of the Blues rally is scheduled for May 29 at Clairefontaine, but Maignan, like Olivier Giroud or Théo Hernandez, will join the group later due to an AC Milan tour in Australia. with a match in Perth against AS Roma on May 31.
He missed the 2022 World Cup
On April 29, the MRI revealed a lesion in the right adductor longus. There are different stages of lesions. 0 only requires a few hours of rest. The 1st, a few days. On the other hand, the 2 prolongs the absence to two or three weeks. Even if the club’s press release did not specify the stadium, it was undoubtedly level 2 with regard to the recovery time. For the moment, the case of Maignan, who is out of the 2022 World Cup due to an injury to the right adductor, does not cause any real concern in view of the European Championship (June 14 – July 14). But caution remains necessary, again and again.
The former Lille player, N.1 goalkeeper for the Blues ahead of Brice Samba and Alphonse Areola since the international retirement of Hugo Lloris, has already experienced several physical problems this season: adductor, thigh, knee.
