In recent days, the two France internationals’ decision to ask the club for a few extra days of holiday has sparked plenty of debate. Their return was initially set for 12 August, but the club agreed to push it back by a few days until today.
That has angered the fans, not just because it came with questionable activity on social media, Maignan, for example, removed every reference to AC Milan from Instagram, but also because, as captain and not involved in the tour, he did not even turn up in Milan for Franco Baresi’s funeral.
