Roma, Gervinho ko: out for three weeks – The Republic

ROME – A tile, unexpected elle last hours. Gervinho’s injury is more serious than it seemed at first: first-degree injury to the rectus femoris of the thigh, the result of this, very disheartening, instrumental examinations. A problem that will take away to Garcia one of his best weapons for three weeks. Two, if the recovery proceeded faster than expected, but no time for optimism.

Gervinho OUT 3 WEEKS: RETURN TO NAPLES? – It continues the feeling of bitter taste. Nothing obviously Bologna. But even Barcelona, ​​Atalanta, Torino and probably Bate Borisov: in short, the Champions for Gervinho is likely to be over here, if Roma fail to snatch a pass to the next round. Especially the risk of ending his 2015: the goal is to return available against Napoli, December 13. Of course if Garcia hoped for accelerating dell’ivoriano not regret Salah (who is recovering gradually from his ankle injury) will now have to find an alternative solution. There is obviously Iturbe, there Iago Falque, there is also the possibility of advancing Florenzi. But in the last three years, as the management Garcia, when Rome had no available Gervinho – or the best Gervinho – has always struggled.

DZEKO AGAINST TABU ‘CHRISTMAS – For now this will have to rely as never before Edin Dzeko. It is unlocked against Leverkusen, has run repeated in the derby, he scored a goal (unnecessary for the purposes of qualification) with its own national. Now Rome asked him to become decisive. To take up to Christmas the team on his shoulders to the sound of heavy nets. But it will have to break a taboo: it does not mark in the league in the month between November 20 and December 20 for 5 years even years. The last time was even at Wolfsburg, a few weeks before moving to the Premier League, where in the weeks before Christmas have never scored. If anything it did immediately after, between 28 and 29 December, when the Premier dresses up and the league instead rests. Now, after two months of fasting interrupted, Rome asked him not to stop.
