Concern for Manu Koné, the French team and for Didier Deschamps this Saturday. While he had just called up the midfielder this Thursday in his official list for the World Cup, the last training session with AS Roma played a bad trick on him. As reported Sky ItaliaManu Koné felt a muscular alert, which could compromise his imminent departure with the Blues if the injury proves serious.

Beyond the international issues, this blow hits Gian Piero Gasperini’s AS Roma hard at the dawn of a crucial deadline. The Italian technician could indeed have to do without his key player for the big derby in the capital against Lazio, which will take place this Sunday. The French midfielder’s participation in this Roman clash is now more than uncertain, leaving the Louve medical staff engaged in a race against time to assess the seriousness of this alert and determine if the player will be able to hold his place.
