MN: Maignan and Gimenez train solo again – doubts about Atalanta game grow
As MilanNews reports, particular attention is being paid to the conditions of Maignan and Gimenez. The former not at his best due to a head injury that he sustained in the win over Udinese, while the latter has a rib problem which occurred in the draw with Fiorentina.
The duo carried out individual work today, preparatory to their return to the field, which is expected in the next few days. Their presence against Atalanta remains in doubt, with Marco Sportiello ready to replace the Frenchman, and one between Luka Jovic and Tammy Abraham to step in for the Mexican.
With Maignan's injury being quite a nasty looking knock to the head, it is very much understandable that the utmost caution is being exercised. The good news was that a CT scan earlier in the week cleared him of any further implications.
Gimenez meanwhile probably wants nothing more than to get back out on the pitch given he has not scored since mid-February. As Milan's big splash in the winter mercato, there will be the desire to begin repaying the investment.
