Roma, sigh of relief for Manu Koné and Neil El Aynaoui

Sigh of relief in the Roma household. Both Manu Koné, who was forced to leave the field on 28′ due to an ankle problem in the Europa League match with Midtjylland, and Neil El Aynaoui, who finished the game with the Danes injured, did not suffer any injuries.

The outcome of the instrumental examinations both Giallorossi midfielders underwent late this morning in Trigoria is a simple contusion injury to the right ankle for the Frenchman and to the left knee for the Moroccan.

He thus smiles as coach Gian Piero Gasperini expects to have both available for Sunday night’s big match against Napoli, scheduled for 8:45 p.m. at the Stadio Olimpico. Of course, their presence from the first minute remains in doubt at the moment.

Who will be certain of a starting shirt in midfield against the Italian champions is Bryan Cristante. Alongside him, the Capitolini coach hopes to deploy at least one of Koné and El Aynaoui: should he not want to risk them, he will relegate Pellegrini to the midfield.
