There’s good news for Roma manager Claudio Ranieri as medical examinations reveal no serious injuries for Mats Hummels and Bryan Cristante following their early exits in the match against Atalanta.
Pazza Di Fanta report how Hummels, who was forced off the pitch during the game, underwent tests that showed no muscle lesions in his back. The German defender is expected to need a couple of days to recover but should be available for the upcoming match against Lecce.
Cristante’s situation is slightly more complex. The midfielder suffered a minor ankle sprain and will be evaluated in the coming days. His participation in the next league fixture will depend on the medical staff’s assessment and Ranieri’s decision.
The injuries occurred during Roma’s defeat to Atalanta, adding to the team’s recent struggles. The Giallorossi have won only one of their last five matches, suffering four losses in the process.
Roma’s upcoming schedule includes a crucial Serie A clash against Lecce on Saturday, December 7th, at the Stadio Olimpico. This will be followed by their sixth Europa League group stage match against Sporting Braga on Thursday, December 12th.
Ranieri will be hoping for a quick recovery from both Hummels and Cristante as Roma looks to improve their form in both domestic and European competitions. The team currently sits in 21st place in the overall Europa League standings, highlighting the importance of fielding a strong lineup in their remaining fixtures.
