Roma are waiting for more tests on Manu Koné after Football Italia reported that the midfielder picked up a muscular injury during the 1-1 Champions League draw with Fenerbahce.
Koné, who started all four of Roma’s competitive matches this season, went off in the 53rd minute and was replaced by Niccolò Pisilli in the first substitution of the game.
The report said coach Gian Piero Gasperini confirmed the change was forced, while the club now faces a concern with a crowded schedule and possible France duty ahead.
What remains unconfirmed
- The extent of Koné's injury has not been established.
- His availability for Roma's next fixtures and France's Nations League games is unresolved.
