AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan spent the night in a hospital after being carried off on a stretcher following a collision with teammate Alex Jimenez in the second half of their 4-0 win at Udinese on Friday.
The club has confirmed Maignan will make his way back to Milan on Saturday after spending time under observation in the hospital.
Milan were 2-0 up at Udinese in Serie A when Maignan left his box and clashed heads with Jimenez while attempting to block the ball in the 51st minute, rendering him unconscious.
Jimenez, who also took a heavy knock to the head, initially played on but was forced off about 18 minutes later.
"Fortunately, Mike is fine. We all asked the doctor how he was, and he reassured us by telling us that he’s in the hospital for tests, but he’s doing okay. He’s a great captain," Milan defender Matteo Gabbia told reporters after the game.
Milan secured a 4-0 victory in the match, with Sergio Conceicao's side earning their first win in nearly a month.
Rafael Leao and Strahinja Pavlovic scored quick-fire goals shortly before the break and Theo Hernandez blasted in the third in the 74th minute before Tijjani Reijnders completed the rout from close range late on.
