Cesena suffer Marilungo blow

Cesena have lost star striker Guido Marilungo for up to three months, joining Alejandro Rodriguez on the treatment table.

The Sea Horses are struggling in Serie A, not winning a game since the opening round against Parma on August 31.

There was already bad news earlier this week when forward Rodriguez was ruled out for a month by a knee ligament injury.

The Sea Horses are struggling in Serie A, not winning a game since the opening round against Parma on August 31.

There was already bad news earlier this week when forward Rodriguez was ruled out for a month by a knee ligament injury.

Tests have now shown than Marilungo suffered a tear to the right thigh adductor muscle and could be out for as long as three months.

It’s a bitter blow for Coach Pierpaolo Bisoli, who must now hope that Hugo Almeida breaks his Serie A duck.
