Mike Maignan is itching to get back on the field, with the Milan custodian having been ruled out for a whole month following a calf injury sustained during France’s 2-0 win over Austria a week before the end of September.
Speaking to Sky Sport (via MilanNews) in an exclusive interview, Maignan expressed his intention to get back into the starting line-up at the earliest. He hopes to be back for the game against Monza at the weekend.
“Every day I am at Milanello to work, I hope to be well for the match against Monza but we still have to see with the doctor and coach if I am 100% ready,” he revealed.
Maignan revealed he wanted to get back to playing ways when the Rossoneri played Hellas Verona in the 2-1 away win last matchday.
“It’s true, I told the coach and the doctor that I wanted to play from the first but this injury is dangerous and I listened to them who knew more than me and I stopped to work and get back ready”.
He also expressed his happiness on finishing 25th in the Ballon D’Or rankings.
“It’s nice because it’s the first time; I’m proud of this and even more so for my teammates, for the family that is always with me. This place means that we did a good job and that we have to work even harder.”
