Fiorentina have confirmed that Micah Richards has suffered a grade I thigh strain that will keep him out of action for 10 days.
The English defender was forced off towards the first half of last night’s eventual Europa League win at Dinamo Minsk.
With the club initially only confirming that the 26-year-old had suffered a thigh injury, speculation was that he was facing as long as three weeks on the sidelines.
