Mike Maignan injured less than a month before the Euro

The goalkeeper of the France team and AC Milan was hit in the finger this Thursday during training.

Didier Deschamps does not like receiving this kind of information while the France team begins its preparation for the Euro (June 14-July 14) next Wednesday in Clairefontaine. Mike Maignan injured his finger this Thursday in training with AC Milan according to The team, information that we are able to confirm. The starting goalkeeper of the France team will undergo additional examinations in the coming hours to determine the seriousness, or not, of this injury.

The former Lille and Parisian (28 years old), who has not been spared from physical problems this season, thought he would return to the field with Milan this weekend against Salernitana in Serie A, before heading to Australia for a exhibition match with his club and find the Blues at the beginning of June. Didier Deschamps, who must make his official list for the Euro on June 7 and has already lost Lucas Hernandez (knee) to injury, is necessarily following this file carefully. As a reminder, Brice Samba and Alphonse Areola complete the contingent of goalkeepers for the adventure in Germany.

Who will replace him in the event of a package?

The Nantais Alban Lafont or the Toulouse Guillaume Restes could apply knowing that Steve Mandanda and Hugo Lloris, holders with Rennes and Los Angeles are retired on the international scene…
