Breaking: New Roma signing goes down in training

Breaking: New Roma signing goes down in training

Patrik Schick hasn’t begun life at Roma brilliantly. He sustained injury in training today, and is to be checked more thoroughly in the next two days.

The 21-year-old signed for a loan deal worth €5 million before the end of the transfer window, with AS Roma supposed to pay the full €35.2 million bill for him next year.

Yet a statement released from the club claims that he has “an oedema”.

“Patrik Schick underwent tests on Friday afternoon that revealed an oedema in his left quadriceps, evidence of a muscle strain that will be evaluated in more detail with further tests over the course of the next 48 hours.”

He was a successful addition to Sampdoria’s side last season, scoring eleven goals and adding three assists in Serie A action.

Also targeted by Inter, Juventus and Tottenham, the attacker failed a medical in Turin before heading to Roma at the end of the window.
