TEMPO.CO, Roma - AS Roma winger Juan Manuel Iturbe is probably resting for one month after he injured his right thigh when I Giallorossi won over CSKA Moskow 5-1, Thursday. Football Italia reported Iturbe was scheduled for diagnostic tests yesterday.
"It was initially hoped the issue was not serious, but concern is increasing that a muscle injury to his right thigh has occurred which could keep the forward out for as long as 30 days," Football Italia wrote yesterday.
The Argentine showed a spectacular performace by scoring one goal and bagging two assists before complaining about his groin and replaced by Alessandro Florenzi.
This has become a heavy news for Roma as the club had also missed Davide Astori who is suffering from a thigh injury and Kevin Strootman who is expected to recover in October.
