Struggling Sampdoria will be without summer signing Maxi Lopez for at least the next 40 days because of knee injury.
The Argentine striker picked up a meniscus problem on Sunday in the game against Atalanta which will require surgery.
“I felt strong pain, but I didn’t really understand straight away what I had done,” noted the former Catania and Milan man.
Struggling Sampdoria will be without summer signing Maxi Lopez for at least the next 40 days because of knee injury.
The Argentine striker picked up a meniscus problem on Sunday in the game against Atalanta which will require surgery.
“I felt strong pain, but I didn’t really understand straight away what I had done,” noted the former Catania and Milan man.
“It was only at the end of the game that I realised what has now unfortunately been confirmed by the tests.
“I won’t give up though and there is no point crying over spilt milk. After the operation all I will think about is getting back to work.”
The 28-year-old has three goals in nine League games for Doria so far this term.
