Roma defenders Davide Astori and Kostas Manolas will face fitness tests ahead of Saturday’s trip to face Napoli.
Roma defenders Davide Astori and Kostas Manolas will face fitness tests ahead of Saturday’s trip to face Napoli.
Roma TV reports that while Astori will be assessed after picking up a suspected thigh strain during last night’s win over Cesena, Manolas is also facing uncertainty over a knock to his right knee.
Italian international Astori pulled up after a sprint, and was heard telling the Giallorossi team doctor ‘I’ve strained it’.
Rudi Garcia seemed to confirm the defender would miss the Napoli game during his post-match assessment.
Hopes are higher though for Manolas, with the Coach commenting that the Greek defender’s injury ‘doesn’t seem like a big deal’.
Astori is likely to be replaced at centre-back in Naples by Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, who came off the bench to take the Italian’s place in last night’s match.
