Roma attacker Paulo Dybala continued to play despite sustaining a heavy block to the back in the first half of Roma-Empoli.
Uncertain of his condition, Jose Mourinho was on the verge of replacing him with Ola Solbakken before half-time.
However, the Argentine attacker was able to pull through despite experiencing lots of pain in his lower back area.
As reported by VoceGiallorossa, Dybala suffered a tailbone bruise.
