AC Milan goalkeeper saw his calf injury resurface in training on Thursday with the Rossoneri

Goalkeeper Mike Maignan is set to miss the World Cup with France as his calf injury suffered last month has been further aggravated. According to Italian media, it will keep him out of the pitch until 2023.

Maignan was just coming back from the injury he picked up while on international duty, but another accident at the AC Milan training on Thursday caused much bigger problems, as he'll be on the sidelines for an extended period of time.

"Mike Maignan will be out until at least January. We are all really sorry for him," AC Milan gaffer Stefano Pioli confirmed during his latest press conference.

The 27-year-old started ahead of France's first-choice goalkeeper Hugo Lloris as the Tottenham Hotspur captain was also out with a thigh injury in September. With Maignan injured, Alphonse Areola came onto the field midway into France's Nations League tie against Austria.
