AC Milan boss Stefano Pioli may have to wait a bit longer yet before being able to name Mike Maignan in his starting line-up, a report claioms.
La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews) recall how a few weeks ago Paolo Scaroni – the president of Milan – announced that Maignan would return to the field in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 tie against Spurs at the San Siro scheduled for 14 February. Even technical director Paolo Maldini confirmed a February return, without however giving a precise date.
However, the paper claims that the Frenchman’s return could be postponed again as the new goal seems to be the return leg against Spurs scheduled for 8 March in London. The calf checks he underwent yesterday showed improvements, but it’s still too early for him to re-enter the field.
After such a long stop, the medical staff do not want to run the risk of new problems arising and therefore the utmost caution is needed, so Ciprian Tatarusanu should be between the posts for a few more games yet.
During the winter market, the Rossoneri signed the young Paraguayan goalkeeper Devis Vasquez, but for the moment Pioli still doesn’t consider him ready to play in Serie A.
Oh for the love of… Why do I have a feeling we have another van Basten on our hands?
Wouldn’t be surprised if he failed a drugs test happens all the time with players going on the injured list
All these recent problems are because of Maignan’s absence, if you look at the way we play with him you will see we are 100% safe but without him, we can not control the game. WE ARE FINISHED THIS SEASON
Elliott & Red Bird, should pay full price for last season mercato.
We might need to consider Maignan to be out for the whole season
Hope not, but it’s not looking good!
“During the winter market, the Rossoneri signed the young Paraguayan goalkeeper Devis Vasquez, but for the moment Pioli still doesn’t consider him ready to play in Serie A.”
If the above statement is true, then Pioli is mad and stupid. He should be sack period! Even if you buy new clothes don’t you try them at least once? Pioli is delusional.
Haha, yes 😀 Can he be worse than Tata?
What is the issue with this freakin guy? People have come back from broken legs quicker than this. I like Maignan but these injuries every year are too much for a goalkeeper.
Why won’t Milan disclose his injury? Calf issues wtf does that mean, can the Milan medical staff not even diagnose this issue?
