Mike Maignan (28) had been absent from France’s training sessions since the start of the international break, however, he returned to the fold on Thursday, ahead of Saturday’s match against Germany.
The AC Milan goalkeeper had a “little concern” towards the end of a 3-1 victory over Hellas Verona on Sunday, according to Didier Deschamps and the evolution of this niggle is being closely evaluated by France’s medical staff.
As a result, no risks were taken with the former Lille OSC shot-stopper, Maignan had been rested entirely on Tuesday before doing some light running during Wednesday’s session. Yesterday, he was involved in a more intense session with goalkeeper coach Franck Raviot, according to L’Équipe.
Les Bleus train at the Groupama Stadium on Friday, and should Maignan manage to take part in the session without any pain, there is a good chance that he will be able to start against Germany.
