Mkhitaryan suffers muscle strain, likely out for Leicester match
After limping off with a thigh injury, Henrikh Mkhitaryan is expected to miss both Roma's games against Bologna and Leicester City.
The Armenia international pulled up clutching the back of his thigh during Thursday evening’s 1-1 Conference League semi-final match at the
King Power Stadium
in Leicester. If confirmed,
Henrikh Mkhitaryanwill almost certainly miss the return leg at the Stadio Olimpico.
Initial reports from
Sky Sport Italia
claim he has suffered a thigh strain and will be out for several weeks. “I don’t know how he’s feeling, but for Miki to ask for a substitution during a game of this level, that obviously does not bode well,”
Romacoach J
ose Mourinho
told DAZN.
The Giallorossi will play against Bologna in Serie A on Sunday, then visit
Leicester Cityfor the second leg of the Conference League semi-final next Thursday evening.
This was the 43rd competitive encounter of the season for 33-year-old Mkhitaryan, having produced five goals and nine assists.
