Setback: Milan keeper Maignan threatens to lose the World Cup

A setback for AC Milan and Mike Maignan: the keeper suffered a setback with his calf injury - the World Cup seems to have gone well for him.

In mid-September, Mike Maignan injured his calf during an international match with the French national team. The AC Milan no.

But now the setback: As the Italian media unanimously reported, the 27-year-old's injury has worsened again, so that he is out again for a longer period of time. The French L'Equipe even reports in this context that Maignan will even miss the World Cup due to the calf injury - which means, conversely, that he would not be used for Milan this year either.

While Maignan is "only" number two behind Hugo Lloris at Les Bleus anyway, his further failure for the Milanese is a very severe weakness. Deputy Ciprian Tatarusanu is nowhere near the level of the French and regularly shows insecurities. Especially in the Champions League, where progress is at stake on the last two matchdays against Zagreb and Salzburg, Milan need secure support that exudes calm.
