AC Milan's Maignan Stretchered Off After Head Collision

During AC Milan's 4-0 victory over Udinese, goalkeeper Mike Maignan suffered a serious head injury after colliding with teammate Alex Jimenez while attempting to clear a dangerous ball. Maignan was initially motionless and required immediate medical attention before being stretchered off the pitch, prompting concern from players and fans. Thankfully, after undergoing tests at the hospital, Maignan reassured supporters through social media that he was fine, humorously noting his 'hard-headedness.' Milan manager Sergio Conceicao commended both the home fans for their support during the incident and reflected on the previous racial abuse Maignan faced from Udinese supporters. The match saw goals from Rafael Leao, Strahinja Pavlovic, Theo Hernandez, and Tijjani Reijnders, keeping Milan's hopes for European qualification alive, although they remain in ninth place, trailing Lazio. Milan's upcoming fixtures include a match against Atalanta and the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final against Inter Milan.
