AS Roma midfielder Manu Koné has suffered knee discomfort following the Champions League trip to Turkey. The French player was forced to leave the pitch eight minutes into the second half of the 1-1 draw against Fenerbahce.
The club has stated it is a simple discomfort and that no specific medical examinations are currently planned. The player's condition will instead be evaluated day by day by the medical staff, casting doubt on his availability for the next fixture.
The upcoming trip
Daniele De Rossi's side now prepares to visit Torino on Monday, September 14th, a match that comes at a time of strong momentum for the Giallorossi. Roma sit firmly at the top of the Serie A table with a perfect 9 points from three games, having scored 10 goals and conceded just one.
A potential absence for Koné would be a setback for the manager, who will need to consider his midfield options ahead of a tricky away fixture. Torino, currently in 13th place, are seeking points to climb the standings.
Fans can follow the full schedule on our fixtures page. Koné's condition remains the only concern in an otherwise fully available squad, as seen on the updated squad list.
Yesterday's match in Turkey saw Roma take the lead through Bryan Cristante in the 39th minute, before Archie Brown equalised for the hosts. The point keeps the team unbeaten in their last five official matches, with a record of three wins and two draws. The next challenge awaits at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.
