Sky: Maignan back in full training but Kjaer and Loftus-Cheek set to miss Torino

By Euan Burns -

AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan is back in full training as he recovers from an injury but at least two players will not be making the trip to face Torino this weekend. 

As reported by Sky Sport Italia (via Milan News), the Rossoneri are preparing for the away match against Torino who are still pushing to get into the Europa Conference League.

Maignan has been absent with injury recently and Marco Sportiello has played in his place, but the Frenchman is now training with the team again. Antonio Mirante, the third-choice goalkeeper, is also training.

The bad news, though, is that both Kjaer and Loftus-Cheek are not expected to recover from their injuries for the Torino match and they are now focused on the final match of the season against Salernitana, based on the evidence in training.

There is an emotional element to Kjaer’s race to get fit, as the Salernitana match will be his last as a Milan player. The Dane is not going to stay beyond the end of the season.

Samuel Chukwueze was not at Milanello as his season is now over thanks to an injury sustained against Cagliari last weekend in the emphatic 5-1 victory that secured second place in Serie A.

  1. Actually I think Sportiello has arguably been better than Maignan, who now I think should be sold. He is too injury-prone and has been a shadow of his former self. If we get any substantial offer for him, sell sell sell!

    Bad news? Who cares? The Torino and Salernitana matches at this point are not more than glorified friendlies.

  2. Torino already safe from relegation and cannot reach conference league spot anymore while salernitana already relegated. Both match are just like friendly game . It is time to play player that have few minutes as starter like sportielo, gabbia, florenzi, adili,okafor. Too bad chukwu injury so he cannot play
