Rome, Vina injured with Uruguay: emergency on the left

Bad awakening for Mourinho, Tiago Pinto and the Roma fans: during the Uruguay match against Peru Matias Vina was forced to leave the pitch in the 71st minute due to a muscle discomfort in his right thigh. There is a fear of injury, if confirmed the player would immediately return to Italy. Net of the quarantine issue, to be evaluated, Vina in all likelihood would not have played against Sassuolo anyway because he was scheduled to return to Rome on 11 September, the day before the match. Now, however, the situation must be evaluated, with Roma anxious because that of the left wing is the only area in which the team is numerically little covered, given the injury of Spinazzola and Calafiori which is not yet a continuous alternative.

THE OTHERS

—

There are many Roma players around the world. While those remaining in Rome have three days of rest and will return to training on Monday, 14 players are out of Italy, Europe, Africa and America, of which 8 are regular players. There are the Italians Cristante, Pellegrini, Zaniolo and Mancini, then Mkhitaryan (Armenia), Vina (Uruguay), Rui Patricio (Portugal) and Veretout (France). In some cases these are long and complicated journeys, such as that of the left-back who, injury permitting, should also play 5 against Bolivia and 9 against Ecuador at home. In all, therefore, about 28 thousand kilometers. Mkhitaryan’s path is also complicated: he flew to Skopje where he faced North Macedonia yesterday, then he will go to Stuttgart where he will play against Germany, on the 8th he will return home for the match against Liechtenstein and the following day he will be back in Rome. Veretout will fly to Kiev with France to face Ukraine (he will be in Trigoria on the 8th), while Rui Patricio has faced Ireland at home and with Portugal he will play against Qatar in Debrecen, but will have to fly to Baku for the last match against Azerbaijan (return on 8). Others called up: Kumbulla with Albania (will return on 9th), Diawara with Guinea (will face Morocco on 7th September), Zalewski with Poland, Shomurodov with Uzbekistan (will return on 6th September after having faced Sweden), Calafiori with the Under 21, the 8 will return, and Bove with the Under 20, who will meet again in Trigoria the previous day.
