Coric adds to Roma injury crisis

Ante Coric is the latest addition to the extraordinary Roma injury list, joining Edin Dzeko, Stephan El Shaarawy, Daniele De Rossi and more.

The Giallorossi are through to the Last 16 of the Champions League despite last night’s 2-0 home defeat to Real Madrid.

They face a crucial Serie A encounter with Inter on Sunday evening, but Coach Eusebio Di Francesco may well struggle to put together a starting XI.

The Giallorossi are through to the Last 16 of the Champions League despite last night’s 2-0 home defeat to Real Madrid.

They face a crucial Serie A encounter with Inter on Sunday evening, but Coach Eusebio Di Francesco may well struggle to put together a starting XI.

He confirmed that Dzeko, El Shaarawy, Lorenzo Pellegrini and De Rossi will “certainly” not be fit in time to play, as they are all suffering from muscular problems.

Today, young midfielder Coric pulled up with a calf issue during training and needs further evaluation.

Javier Pastore and Diego Perotti have been out of action for over a month, but are hoping to manage a spot on the bench against Inter.

Perotti only has two games under his belt all season.
