It was first thought that the midfielder could’ve suffered a serious injury, and this morning Pjanic underwent medical tests at the J-Medical centre.

The club have now released a statement saying that the former Roma player has avoided any muscle damage, and has “a slight fatigue of the right adductor.”

Furthermore, the club’s statement revealed that Pjanic will be out of Saturday’s clash against SPAL, but that he should be ready to face his former side Lyon in the Round of 16 in the Champions League.
