Coming out in tears during the match between AS Roma and Real Madrid, Manu Koné is partly fixed on the nature of his injury.

An evening to forget for AS Roma. Overthrown by Real Madrid (3-4) while still leading by two goals in the 82nd minute of play, La Louve was also not helped by the injury exits of two executives, Manu Koné (17th) and Paulo Dybala (46th), Wednesday evening during the 2nd day of the Champions League.

That of the French international, replaced by Niccolo Pisilli, particularly worried the Roman staff. The Blue of Zinédine Zidane, comforted on the pitch by Kylian Mbappé, Aurélien Tchouameni and Ibrahima Konaté, actually left the pitch in tears, raising fears of a serious physical problem.

Manu Koné package for the Blues?

Asked on Prime Video after the match, Gian Piero Gasperini indicated that the Habs were suffering “probably a muscle strain, a strain”while a
“calf contracture” was suspected for the Argentine attacker. “The unavailability of Manu Koné is undoubtedly the more serious of the two”he clarified.

If additional examinations will determine the exact duration of his unavailability, his absence could be at least four weeks if the injury is severe. Less if this elongation is moderate. Enough to deprive him of the next gathering of the French team, in November? Response in the next few hours.
