Como’s Sergi Roberto stops in his tracks: injury forces him to leave the pitch after just 34 minutes against Torino
It was a tough luck for Como’s midfielder Sergi Roberto, who had fully recovered from his previous injury, only to suffer another setback in the first half of the match against Torino. The Spanish player, who had already faced issues in the game against Parma last week, picked up his new physical problem on Wednesday, in an action on the right flank.
As he attempted to regain possession of the ball in midfield, Roberto felt a sharp pain in his leg after being tackled, and subsequently collapsed to the ground. His body language suggested a deep sense of discomfort, and he immediately called for a substitution, making way for Brauner to enter the game.
The injury has left Roberto’s future in question, with the Como player now facing a potential layoff that could impact his availability for the upcoming matches. This is particularly concerning, given that the team will face two games in a week, starting with the Italian Cup clash against Sampdoria.
The setback comes as a blow to the midfielder, who has worked tirelessly to get back to full fitness. His departure from the game adds to the woes of the Como side, which is already struggling to cope with the loss of key players to injuries and suspensions.
As the team looks to regroup, the coaching staff will be eager to get an update on Roberto’s condition, hoping that the injury is not severe enough to keep him out for an extended period. In the meantime, it remains to be seen how Como will cope with the loss of their key playmaker, and whether they can find a way to overcome the sop to stay competitive in the Serie A.
For now, the focus is on Roberto, and the team will be hoping that he can make a swift recovery, and return to the field as soon as possible.
