Roma followed: Ibanez ligament strain missed for a month, and Abraham was not much of a problem

According to Alessandro Austini, a reporter for The Times in Rome, Roma centre-back Ibanez suffered a collateral ligament injury, which would have left him out for three to four weeks, with Roma aiming to get Ibanez back in the March 6 game against Atalanta.

Ibanez was replaced from a knee sprain in the day before yesterday's match against Inter Milan, and the post-match test result was: the paraligament of the left knee was stretched and a month of rest is expected. The Brazilian will miss three league games against Sassuolo, Verona and Spezia, with the goal of returning in time for home against Atalanta on March 6 or the first leg of the UEFA Quarter-final on March 10.

If Roma continue the three-guard formation, Kumbula will be the replacement for Ibanez, but considering that Mancini will be suspended for another yellow card, Roma's backline could once again be in a tight personnel situation.

In addition, Tammy Abraham was substituted for left flexor discomfort in the match against Inter, but the test results showed that the problem was not big and would not miss the next game. Zaniolo is suspended this weekend and Mourinho will choose a player between Felix and Shomurodov to partner tammy Abraham, while captain Pellegrini will also return to the starting line-up.
