Mike Maignan’s collision with Alex Jimenez stunned everyone inside the stadium last night — and left Tammy Abraham visibly shaken as he witnessed the harrowing moment up close.
The AC Milan goalkeeper took a severe blow to the head during the match against Udinese, collapsing to the ground and lying motionless. For a moment, the stadium fell completely silent — fans, players, and coaches all holding their breath.
Abraham, who recently joined Milan, was among the first to react emotionally. He immediately dropped to his knees and began to pray, his face showing deep concern as medical staff rushed onto the pitch.
AC Milan later confirmed during the game that Maignan had regained consciousness and was being taken to hospital for further medical evaluation. Fortunately, early signs suggest he avoided the worst-case scenario.
Jimenez was able to continue playing, but the emotional toll on the team was clear. Milan’s players, visibly rattled, took time to regroup before resuming the match.
Fans at the stadium showed remarkable sportsmanship, shifting from earlier boos to loud applause and chants of support for the 28-year-old keeper as he was stretchered off.
Maignan, who has 28 caps for France, joined Milan in 2021 from Lille for €17 million and has since become a key figure in the Rossoneri squad. His presence on and off the pitch is deeply valued — a fact made clear by the outpouring of emotion from teammates like Abraham.
