Hours of apprehension in the Milan household over Mike Maignan's injury.

The French extreme defender è slumped to the ground with the ball away, immediately calling for a change. In his place è Marco Sportiello entered.
In the postgame coach Pioli said: "Mike heard a little something but says little. I trust him". However, Maignan’s new stop worries the Diavolo, especially in light of the last calf injury that cost him almost five months of absence. In any case, in the next few hours the Milan player will undergo instrumental exams to verify the'extent'of the injury.

On the other hand, the condition of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who was also forced to change during the match against the Magpies, is not a concern. "Loftus seems to have suffered a cramp” reassured Pioli about the English midfielder at the end of the match.
