What recently happened on the pitch of the Blueenergy Arena, where the Roma player left due to physical problems, is incredible. Away to Naples now at risk.
The April 25, 2024 will certainly go down in history as one of the most historic dates in Serie A football. This, due to the 20 minute injury time between Udinese And Rome, took to the field today just under a month after the original kick-off of the match interrupted due to N’Dicka’s illness. Once the match resumed, the latter gave very little emotion to the audience at the Bluenergy Arena before the Giallorossi took the lead at the end, however facing a surprise injury at home in Rome.
Groin problems for Smalling, trip to Naples at risk
Only 20 minutes to recover and, all things considered, just over 10 players played in Udine, where a surreal match gave very few shocks before Cristante’s late goal. Yet, for De Rossi not even such a short period of time coincided with calm, given theinjury remedied by Chris Smalling just before the ninetieth minute. The English central defender in fact gestured to the bench, drawing the attention of his coach, who shortly afterwards sent him onto the field Diego Llorente.
The Spaniard thus replaced the former Manchester United player after just 15 minutes of the matchwith the first diagnoses undoubtedly arriving shortly. Smalling he still left the field on his own two feet, but touching his groin rather limply. It is therefore clear that now is the time for the trip Naples appears very doubtful for one of the best central defenders in our Serie A, who in case of physical boredom could miss the Maradona match. The condition of the Briton is not yet known, but with so little time to recover and a Europa League semi-final just around the corner, it is very likely that Mr. de Rossi give Smalling some rest against the Azzurri, so as not to complicate things in view of a heartfelt Bayer Leverkusen-Roma.
Not just Smalling, which Giallorossi will not leave for Naples
For De Rossi, chance Smalling it is only the latest of the problems that arose in view of the away match Naples in home Rome. This, due to the already certified absence of Paredesdisqualified after the yellow card received last day against Bologna, as well as doubt Lukaku. The Belgian is in fact still in the balance after the muscle problem suffered against Milan in the Europa League and could leave room for Abraham in the event of failure to recover. Outside, finally, also the same N’Dickastill recovering after the events in Udine.
