Ibarbo out for five weeks

By Football Italia staff

Roma confirm that newly signed Victor Ibarbo has picked up a calf injury, which reportedly will sideline him for five weeks.

The former Cagliari striker joined the Giallorossi only four days ago, but was presented to the media having already picked up an injury.

After undergoing tests on that complaint, the player has been confirmed today by his new club as facing a spell on the sidelines.

“Ibarbo underwent medical tests today that confirmed a grade one/two injury to the myotendinous junction of his right medial gastrocnemius muscle,” reads the statement.

“The player has already started treatment on the injury.”

A recovery date on this calf injury has not been released by the Giallorossi, but other sources such as the Gazzetta dello Sport estimate it will be around five weeks.
