Roma midfielder Bryan Cristante is expected to miss their upcoming Serie A match against Como on Sunday, October 11th. The cause of his absence is a knee injury, which has now developed and is not expected to fully heal. Cristante, who is the team's number 4 jersey, has not been able to train with the squad due to an earlier bout of lumbago.
As a result, he has been working through individual sessions, but it appears his condition has worsened. According to Radio Mana Mana, the injury is significant enough to potentially rule Cristante out for the remainder of the season. The Giallorossi are likely to turn to Manu Koné and Marten De Roon as potential starters in Cristante's place for the clash against Fabregas' Como.
