"I hear what people say, but the best answer I can give is that I don't pay attention. Tomorrow [Monday] will be my 23rd consecutive match. That's a good thing. People say I get injured often, but it doesn't affect me. You should know that, on the pitch, the goalkeeper is the player who takes the most hits."
"I know you like statistics. If you look at the stats, last season, I was one of the three players who played the most in Europe. Managing my body is what I do best."
"Kylian is the captain. The coach decides who is the captain. We fully support the coach's and the captain's decisions. I don't have to change anything; I'll do what I have to do."
Maignan missed more than 40 matches for AC Milan across recent seasons, equating to roughly a full season of football. Since the start of the year he missed two games for unrelated issues. Concerns about fragility are understandable but do not necessarily indicate chronic injury proneness. Maignan has remained a high-performing goalkeeper this season and has accumulated extensive playing time. He has started 23 consecutive senior national team matches. Last season he appeared 53 times, logging nearly 4,700 minutes and ranking among the three players with the most minutes in Europe. Body management is cited as a key factor in availability.
