Bad news for Gian Piero Gasperini during Roma-Real Madrid.

Manu Koné was forced off the pitch in the 16th minute of the first half, almost in tears, due to a muscle strain.

Niccolò Pisilli came on in his place.

After the match, Gasperini clarified the Frenchman’s condition, explaining to Amazon Prime Video that a strain is suspected.

The midfielder’s condition will be assessed in the coming hours to determine the extent of the injury and his possible recovery time.
