After having been forced off early in yesterday’s Coppa Italia loss versus Juve due to a knee injury, Roma midfielder Amadou Diawara underwent examinations today at Villa Stuart.

Filippo Biafora of Il Tempo reports that the initial diagnosis for the ex-Bologna man is damage to the external meniscus. Diawara already underwent surgery earlier this season on the same knee to his internal meniscus.
