Overview
- Mike Maignan, AC Milan's goalkeeper, was hospitalized after a head collision with teammate Alex Jimenez during Friday's Serie A match against Udinese.
- Maignan has since been discharged from the hospital and is reported to be in good condition after overnight observation and medical tests.
- Udinese fans applauded Maignan as he was carried off the field, a stark contrast to the racist abuse he faced from the same fanbase in January 2024.
- AC Milan won the match decisively with a 4-0 scoreline, featuring goals from Rafael Leao, Strahinja Pavlovic, Theo Hernandez, and Tijjani Reijnders.
- Despite the victory, Milan remain in 9th place in Serie A, six points away from Champions League qualification with six matches left in the season.
