Roma, Wesley sidelined: thigh injury rules him out of action | OneFootball

National teams once again leave heavy consequences for clubs: this time it’s Roma paying the price. The full-back Wesley, fresh off a good start that even earned him a call-up to the national team, was sidelined by a muscle discomfort felt during Brazil’s training camp. Coach Ancelotti, wisely, left him out of the match against Bolivia as a precaution.

Injury on International Duty: Wesley, Muscle Problem with Brazil

The issue concerns his thigh, and it’s not a minor injury: the young winger didn’t even make it to the bench. Roma, at the Trigoria training center, will arrange instrumental tests in the coming hours to determine the extent of the injury. The hope is that it’s not a serious lesion, although his availability for the match against Torino, Sunday at 12:30, is definitely in doubt. For coach Gian Piero Gasperini, losing Wesley is a serious problem. Not only because he’s a dynamic and confident young player, capable of adapting to various attacking positions; but also because his presence brings drive and unpredictability on the flank. The capital side, therefore, is called to quickly plan an alternative solution, perhaps turning to Celik or Rensch, useful adaptations but technically different from the Brazilian.
