Maignan seen leaving San Siro on crutches after sustaining calf injury – photo

Mike Maignan was spotted leaving San Siro requiring crutches to walk after coming off injured during AC Milan 1-0 Bologna.

It was a rather strange development when early in the second half Maignan dropped to the ground inside his own box and instantly asked to come off. He hobbled off the pitch and was replaced by Pietro Terracciano, with the hopes being that it was just a tweak.

The images that came out after the game though do not fill anyone with much hope. The Frenchman was seen leaving San Siro walking with crutches, which certainly suggests a more serious injury, while waiting for scans.

Allegri’s words

In his post-match interview, Massimiliano Allegri was asked if he had any update on Maignan’s condition.

“I definitely don’t think he’ll be there in Udine; his calf is a difficult one. Terracciano had a good debut at San Siro, I’m very happy, and we also have Torriani, who is very good.

“The important thing is to work as a team like we did tonight, and even in difficult situations, it’s important to have the right spirit, one small step at a time.”
