Rafael Leao suffers injury, remains doubtful ahead of Roma showdown

Bad news for Paulo Fonseca and his team as they lose a key player in Rafael Leao.

Last night, the Portuguese winger was unable to continue in the match against Hellas Verona due to a physical issue.

Leao walked off the pitch, with Theo Hernandez replacing him.

His condition, and any recovery times, will therefore be assessed over the next few hours.

According to TMW, Leao was stopped by a strain in his left flexor.

The Rossoneri coach, Paulo Fonseca, speaking to DAZN, gave his first impressions.

“I spoke to Rafa now, it seems to me that it is nothing special. We’ll see tomorrow. It was a preventive exit, he didn’t want to take any risks. But it seems to me that it is nothing special.”
