There is a worrying statistic regarding Mike Maignan, and it regards his reliability for AC Milan. Put simply, he is not.
Milan are in a difficult position with Maignan. He is one of the key players, more importantly he dons the armband. However, there is a rather large caveat to it all, or two. He has a deal expiring in 12 months, if that, and his injury record.
The former does not seem to be getting better at this point. Talks have seemingly broken down, and it seems the Rossoneri are ‘at peace’ with the idea of losing him. However, games like this weekend could be another reason why.
Reliable or not?
Maignan, put simply, went off the field with another injury at the weekend. It was not really an issue last season, more so in the one before that. Nevertheless, there is an inavoidable fact, as Gazzetta dello Sport write.
In the past four years, just for the Rossoneri alone, he has missed 40 games, which is quite a lot for a goalkeeper in such a period. Of course, we also need to consider the new injury could add to that tally.
The injury issues slowed last season, but they may still be very present. Something which could only deter a renewal further.
