Manu Koné started Roma vs. Bologna, but was forced to be substituted after just 20 minutes.
He was replaced by Lorenzo Pellegrini, who scored the equalizer in the first leg.
However, the Giallorossi were defeated, and Gian Piero Gasperini will have to contend with yet another injury issue affecting one of his players.
The number 17, called up to the national team, according to initial reports has reported a flexor problem that needs to be evaluated. Tomorrow he will undergo tests to determine the extent of the injury, and he may remain at Trigoria during the international break.
Koné tried to grit his teeth, but the problems that forced him to miss the first leg have recurred. Gasp is not at all happy with the medical staff’s handling of the issues. In fact, it appears that last Friday, the coach had a heated exchange with the medical staff, complaining about suboptimal injury management.
Roma is decimated, and Gasp hopes it’s not a serious problem for Koné. The Giallorossi coach commented on the midfielder’s condition after the match: “Koné came off, I think it’s a muscle problem.”
