Ucan out for a month

By Football Italia staff

Roma will be without midfielder Salih Ucan for a month, after he suffered a metatarsal injury.

The 21-year-old has mainly been limited to substitute appearances for the Giallorossi this season, though he did start the Coppa Italia defeat to Spezia.

“Salih Ucan sprained the big toe of his left foot during this morning's training session,” Roma’s official website confirmed.

“Medical tests on the metatarsophalangeal joint revealed some fairly severe ligament damage and a small avulsion fracture in the head of the metatarsal.

“The 21-year-old Turkish midfielder, who has made six appearances for Roma so far this season, has already begun his recovery programme. He is expected to be out of action for around four weeks.”
