Bad news for Claudio Ranieri ahead of the crucial return leg of the Europa League Round of 16.

Earlier today Zeki Celik underwent instrumental tests today to evaluate the muscular problem he suffered after Roma-Athletic Club.

The tests revealed a first-degree lesion of the conjoint tendon of the biceps femoris of the left thigh.

The right-back will be evaluated day by day, but his forfeit against Athletic Bilbao in the return match of the Europa League round of 16 is certain.

Celik will also miss Roma-Cagliari in the league and aims to return only after the mid-March international break, reports Angelo Mangiante of Sky Sport.
