AS Roma confirms sad injury news: Mourinho wants to enter the market
Abraham was injured on the last day of the season in Serie A. The first reports said that the attacker had torn his anterior cruciate ligament, but this was not confirmed. On Wednesday, Roma has now come up with an update: the club has announced that Abraham underwent surgery in London to repair the cruciate ligament in his left knee.
A long rehabilitation period now awaits Abraham. The attacker has spent two seasons with Roma and scored 36 times for the club so far, but only nine of those goals came in the last football year.
According to Italian media, Jose Mourinho wants to bring in a new striker in the summer due to the bad news about Abraham.
Juventus provides clarity about the future
Staying in Italy, Massimilliano Allegri will remain as manager of Juventus, confirms CEO Maurizio Scanavino. Despite all the negativity surrounding the club at the moment, he is optimistic about the future.
Juventus received two point penalties for financial misdeeds this season and therefore ended up in seventh place in Serie A with 62 points, far behind leader Napoli, who reached 90 points. Scanavino expects things to go better next season, so with Allegri. “He was never in dispute. We share all future scenarios with him, from the management to the sporting part,” he told Sky Italia. “We must not forget the current situation. A kind of storm in which we have operated well, not only on the field, but also off it.”
Juventus has not won any awards for the second year in a row. “We understand the dissatisfaction of the fans, because they are emotionally involved just like us. And we come from a period where we have had great successes with each other, unfortunately we did not get the satisfaction we wanted. We must keep our feet on the ground and think carefully about the future. Allegri is the most suitable person to lead us to better times,” he concluded.
