Hermoso injured, Roma return to Dragusin

According to reports from various outlets, Hermoso has suffered a second-degree strain to his hip flexors and is set to miss around a month’s worth of action.

This leaves Gian Piero Gasperini short on options at centre-back, and as a result, Roma could return to talks with Tottenham over a potential move for former Genoa and Juventus Next Gen defender Dragusin.
