Rome, Smalling and Wijnaldum muscle injuries: recovery times and missed matches

The exams showed for both a lesion to the flexor of the right leg. For the English, the risk is not to return before the end of May, less serious for the Dutch

Bad news for Roma and José Mourinho. The match played against Feyenoord in the Europa League risks costing dearly to Chris Smalling and Georginio Wijnaldum, who went out due to injury. After having rested for a day, the two Giallorossi underwent medical tests which highlighted – for both – an injury to the left thigh flexor. Not a small tile for the Special One, who is preparing to face the most delicate moment of the season without two of his loyalists.

recovery times

The most worrying situation is that of Smalling: in the event of an injury, the minimum time to return is about twenty days. This means that the English centre-back risks having to watch the matches against Atalanta, Milan, Monza and the one on May 7 against Inter as a spectator. But if things don’t improve, the discussion could also concern the first leg of the semi-final of the Europa League, scheduled for May 11 at the Olimpico against Bayer Leverkusen. On the other hand, Wijnaldum’s conditions are less serious, and he will be evaluated again in the next few days to see if there is room to recover the Dutchman, at least for his commitment with the Nerazzurri.
