AC Milan suffer major setback with Maignan injury | OneFootball

AC Milan could be without first-choice goalkeeper Mike Maignan for two months, according to Italian outlet Calciomercato.

The French international was forced off during Milan’s 1-0 victory over Bologna at San Siro, raising concerns for manager Massimiliano Allegri and his staff.

He was later seen leaving the stadium on crutches, which only deepened the sense of worry among Milan supporters and officials.

The club are now waiting for complete medical tests to confirm the exact severity of the problem.

Maignan could be sidelined for six weeks, with a return expected around the first week of November at the earliest.

Injury problems mount for Milan

This latest setback adds to the list of injury concerns already troubling Milan.

Key forward Rafael Leao is unavailable and not expected to return before the clash with Napoli on September 28.

The combination of injuries to two vital players leaves Allegri facing a major test in the coming weeks.

Milan’s defence will need to adapt quickly without Maignan, who has been a reliable presence between the posts since joining the club.

His leadership and shot-stopping ability have often rescued Milan in tight matches, making his absence particularly damaging.

Milan’s depth in goal will be tested, and whoever steps in will face the challenge of keeping the team steady during a critical stretch of the season.

Losing Maignan and Leao at the same time could heavily affect Milan’s title hopes in Serie A.
