Maignan breathes a sigh of relief over finger despite dislocation

After a few hours of fear and worry, Mike Maignan was able to breathe a sigh of relief regarding the finger injury that he sustained during training.

Yesterday morning, Maignan injured the fifth finger of his left hand in training but fortunately, the tests highlighted a dislocation and ruled out any breaks or fractures.

Now the Frenchman will have to wear a brace for a week, but he can smile because his presence at the European Championship with France is not at risk as per La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews).

Maignan will obviously not play tomorrow evening against Salernitana meaning that his season is over with Milan, but the fact that he is all clear for the tournament in Germany – scheduled from 14 June to 14 July – is good news.

Maignan has missed seven games due to injury this season and with the clash tomorrow, that tally will conclude at eight games. Comparing this with his first two seasons at Milan, this is basically nothing as he missed nine games in 2021-22 and another 23 games in 2022-23.

We reported earlier today on our Substack that there is some internal frustration regarding the goalkeeper both at Casa Milan and at Milanello, and we revealed the reasons why.
