AC Milan fans feared that it would be difficult to find a worthy replacement for Gianluigi Donnarumma, it turned out that the Rossoneri found it immediately as soon as the young Italian left them without compensation. The transfer of Mike Maignan from Lille, worth 14,400,000 euros, turned out to be superb. Immediately, the Frenchman took his place between the goalposts, profiled himself as one of the best goalkeepers of the nets in the Apennines and helped the giant to defy all expectations and become the champion of Italy after a decade and a half of waiting.The San Siro hospital: Maignan is out for a month, Theo Hernandez questionable for the Chelsea duelHowever, Maignan did not come to San Siro as a complete goalkeeper who has everything. At least that’s what Milan’s legendary custodian Nelson Dida claims, who is the goalkeeping coach at Milanello.”I would put him among the five to ten best goalkeepers in the world at the moment, and at the same time he is constantly improving,” said the Brazilian at the presentation of a new documentary about the Carlo Ancelotti era in Milan and continued: “I taught him what I once learned. Coming to Milan comes with a lot of responsibility. He lacked the basics and the technique, but he is improving every day in that regard.”##NAJAVA_MECA_6677260##In the last championship season, Maignan played 32 games and conceded only 21 goals, even managing to keep his own net still on 17 occasions. Although he was expected to miss three months last fall due to a wrist injury, the Frenchman returned to the field in just over a month and missed only six matches.The problem for Milan is that Maignan is dealing with an injury again. This time it’s the calf, and the expected break is one month. As a result, he should miss six to seven matches, including both matches against Chelsea in the Champions League.
