A number of sources reported after the win against Fiorentina that Mike Maignan battled an illness to keep a clean sheet, and Yacine Adli has seemingly confirmed it.
It was claimed by a few papers that Maignan did not just stop Fiorentina from scoring but he also beat the flu in the process. The Frenchman had a fever of 39 degrees and despite this he was decisive and the best on the pitch.
