Affected by muscle discomfort this week, Manu Koné was preserved by AS Roma and did not play in the derby won against Lazio this Sunday (2-0). An absence which could have worried the staff of the French team one month before the 2026 World Cup while the French midfielder has already experienced two muscle injuries since the start of the year.
But the situation does not raise any particular alarm. The former Toulouse player was simply spared as a precaution and should be available for the last match of the Roman season, next Sunday on the pitch at Hellas Verona. Good news for the Blues one month before the North American World Cup.
