MN: Sportiello out for two months – the October 19 curse strikes Milan again

History suggests that being an AC Milan goalkeeper on October 19th is not a lucky day, at least based on what has happened in the last two years.

As MilanNews reports, this afternoon the announcement of an injury suffered by Marco Sportiello arrived and the former Atalanta player will have to sit out for around two months due to an injury to the medial twin of his left calf.

It was exactly one year ago that Mike Maignan suffered the second problem with the medial twin of his left calf with a soleus injury, which kept him out for a chunk of action as well.

It left Milan with a problem in 2022 and it has left them with an even bigger one this year. Maignan is not available to face Juventus due to suspension while his back-up Sportiello is now sidelined, meaning third choice Antonio Mirante is likely to get the nod.
