Just our luck

Osvaldo out for two months?
By Football Italia staff

Roma have suffered an injury scare this afternoon after Pablo Daniel Osvaldo was stretchered off during training with a suspected thigh strain.

Whilst running during the squad’s training session, Osvaldo collapsed to the ground in pain, holding his right thigh. The Argentine-born Italian international was ultimately forced to leave the field on a motorised stretcher as he could not walk.

The striker is set to undergo a series of tests on a suspected second degree thigh strain with it now almost certain that he will miss the Giallorossi’s return to action this weekend at home to Chievo. Speculation is that the injury, if confirmed as a being a strain to the flexor muscle at the top of the player’s thigh, could rule him out of action for up to two months.

Osvaldo is Roma’s top scorer this season with seven goals to his name and the injury comes less than 24 hours after Marco Borriello sealed his loan switch to rivals Juventus.








Come back Borriello

Is it too late to keep Borriello? FFS, why couldn't this happen two days ago instead?

I for one don't miss Borriello. One between Borini and Bojan will start so we can see some action from them, if that doesn't work, Simplicio in midfield with Gago and DDR, then Pjanic behind Totti and Lamela!

Please recover soon, PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE OSVALDO!

I feel this could work in our favor. I never liked him..

it'll give either borini or viviani more first team play (although i LOVE osvaldo)

nilmar?

more game time for Lamela

We don't need to go out and panic,we can cope without Osvaldo for a month or 2.

Also Borini should be back soon.. :dance:

Isn't Nilmar still injured? Wouldn't do us much good if he is...

yeah, I actually believe in Borini!
