According to the most recent updates, it has been confirmed that Mike Maignan is in optimal physical condition to assume the position of goalkeeper for Milan in their upcoming fixture against Verona, following his recent injury sustained during a Europa League match.
The match is scheduled to commence on Sunday at 14:00 GMT at the Stadio Bentegodi.
Maignan incurred an injury during Milan’s triumphant 3-1 victory over Slavia Praha in the Europa League on Thursday, necessitating his premature exit from the field of play.
Manager Stefano Pioli provided assurances that Maignan’s injury was minor in nature, characterized solely by a knee bruise, without any indication of sprains or fractures.
Having rejoined training alongside his teammates today, Maignan is anticipated to assume his customary position as goalkeeper in the forthcoming match.
The sole absentee from Milan’s lineup is midfielder Tommaso Pobega, particularly noteworthy as Rafael Leao returns from suspension, aiming to capitalize on his remarkable performance with a goal in the Europa League earlier in the week.
Ismael Bennacer and Tijjani Reijnders are expected to resume their roles in midfield, while Malick Thiaw is poised to be included in the starting lineup in place of Matteo Gabbia in defense.
