Roma have received concerning news during the international break as striker Artem Dovbyk has suffered an injury while on duty with the Ukrainian national team. The setback will prevent him from participating in Ukraine’s upcoming Nations League matches against Albania and the Czech Republic scheduled for September 7th and 10th.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports how the Ukrainian Football Federation officially confirmed Dovbyk’s injury through their official channels. As a result, the forward will return to Roma’s training facility in Trigoria to begin his recovery process.
Dovbyk, who was the top scorer (Pichichi) in the previous La Liga season, will now focus on rehabilitation with the aim of being fit for Roma’s next Serie A fixture against Genoa on September 15th. This injury comes at an inopportune time for both the player and the club, as Roma is still searching for their first win of the season after a loss to Empoli and draws against Cagliari and Juventus.
The Ukrainian striker has yet to open his Serie A account this season, adding to the frustration of this untimely injury. Roma’s manager Daniele De Rossi will be hoping for a swift recovery as the team looks to improve their early season form and climb up the league table.
This situation will be closely monitored by Roma’s medical staff, and further updates on Dovbyk’s condition are expected in the coming days as the club assesses the extent of the injury and establishes a timeline for his return to action.
