Roma fear thigh strain for Mkhitaryan

Henrikh Mkhitaryan is expected to miss both Roma’s games with Bologna and Leicester City after limping off with a thigh injury.

The Armenia international pulled up clutching the back of his thigh during this evening’s 1-1 Conference League semi-final draw at the King Power Stadium in Leicester.

Initial reports from Sky Sport Italia suggest he has suffered a thigh strain and will be out for several weeks.

“I don’t know how he’s doing, but for Miki to ask for a substitution during a game of this level, that certainly does not bode well,” Roma coach Jose Mourinho told DAZN.

The Giallorossi will play against Bologna in Serie A on Sunday, then host Leicester City for the second leg of the Conference League semi-final next Thursday evening.

This was the 43rd competitive match of the season for 33-year-old Mkhitaryan, having contributed five goals and nine assists.
