AC Milan goalkeeper, Mike Maignan was released on a stretcher this Friday, traveling to Udine. After the game, Sergio Conceiçao praised the attitude of the supporters of the Udinese, who had whistled the French goalkeeper before this violent shock in the head.
For his return to Udine, fifteen months after being the target of racist insults, Mike Maignan was released on injury Friday evening after a violent shock with his teammate Alex Jimenez. All the spectators of the Bluenergy Stadium, including the Udinese ultras, who had whistled it so far, have retained their breath.
After the shock, Mike Maignan collapsed on the ground, surrounded by his teammates. The French goalkeeper of AC Milan was evacuated on a stretcher, under the applause. “The exams carried out in the hospital were negative (for a head trauma). Maignan will stay under observation and will return on Saturday morning to Milan,” said the Lombard club.
“They whistled the player, they applauded the man”
For his part, Sergio Conceiçao, the coach of AC Milan, praised the attitude of the supporters of the Udinese after the injury of Maignan: “I must congratulate them, they whistled the player, they applauded the man, it was a very beautiful gesture, as I rarely saw,” he insisted.
“There is always a strange atmosphere in Udine (…) The Udinese ultras made a hell of a particular refute at the start of the second period, we all think of Mike,” said the Portuguese international Rafael Leao, author of the opening of the score. Three other goals followed for AC Milan, for a victory 4 to 0. The Rossoneri remain in the ninth place in Serie A at the start of the 32nd day, to four units of the sixth place, the last qualifier for a European competition.
The duration of unavailability of the goalkeeper of the French team is not yet known when AC Milan has a long-awaited meeting on April 23 against Inter with its semi-final return of the Italian Cup, the last competition where it can save its very disappointing season.
