John Stones set to miss Roma showdown with injury | OneFootball

The big clash at the Stadio Olimpico between Roma and Inter is getting closer.

Roma fans are eagerly anticipating the match, hoping to pump up the atmosphere ahead of a match that could put the Roman side alone at the top of the table for at least three weeks.

The same calm is not felt at the Nerazzurri. In addition to the alarm bells raised by Chivu’s team’s excessive goals conceded, injuries are also keeping the Romanian coach awake at night. And so, after Calhanoglu’s absence due to an adductor problem, Stones could also be out.

The English defender was replaced at the start of the second half by Pavard in the last match, a 5-3 win against Udinese, and this morning he underwent thorough checks to determine the nature of his injury.

John Stones underwent clinical and instrumental tests this morning at the Humanitas Institute in Rozzano.

The tests revealed a strain in the left thigh flexors. His condition will be reassessed in the coming days,” a statement from the Appiano Gentile club said. With approximately 48 hours to go until the match, Chivu still doesn’t know whether or not he will be able to count on the former Manchester City player.
