For Manu Koné, last night’s clash between AS Roma and Real Madrid (3-4) was a perfect showcase to shine under the spotlight of the whole world. The French international finally left his partners in tears in the 17th minute, after feeling pain in his thigh, and his team collapsed in the final moments of the match. According to the Italian press, the player trained in Toulouse could be absent for many weeks, very bad news for his club, but also for Zinédine Zidane.
La Gazzetta dello Sport indeed evokes a possible return after the November break, which would force the French coach to review his plans in midfield (he should, however, be able to count on the return of Aurélien Tchouameni). Manu Koné may be suffering from a strained thigh, an injury which can sometimes lead to long absences.
