Knee injury rules Robinio Vaz out of Roma pre-season | OneFootball

The bad news has already started for Roma before the season even kicks off, as Robinio Vaz has been ruled out for several weeks by a knee ligament injury.

The pre-season training only began this week at Trigoria under the guidance of coach Gian Piero Gasperini.

Last term was ruined by a series of injuries, almost all of them to the attacking players, and 2026-27 is starting on the same foot.

Multiple reports including Sky Sport Italia state that Robinio Vaz sustained a right knee injury during training today and has been diagnosed with a lesion to the collateral ligament.

It is not a very serious issue, but still enough to keep the Brazilian out of action for several weeks while Roma staff evaluate the development of his recovery.

The 19-year-old was purchased from Olympique Marseille in the January transfer window at a cost of €22m plus add-ons.

Vaz made 14 competitive appearances in the Giallorossi jersey, contributing one goal and two assists.
