There are concerns for Roma striker Juan Iturbe, who sprained his knee and ankle, but tests are needed for ligament damage.

Iturbe fell awkwardly just 20 minutes into tonight’s 1-1 draw with Empoli, as his right foot was caught under him and turned badly.

The medical staff released a statement confirming “the Argentine forward has sprained his right ankle and knee.”

More tests are required tomorrow, as the real fear is ligament damage.
