The story in brief

29-second read

Roma suffered a blow in their Champions League clash with Real Madrid as Manu Kone was forced off after just 17 minutes with an apparent muscle problem.

The France international pulled up at the Stadio Olimpico and could not continue, with Niccolò Pisilli sent on in his place. It is a significant setback for Gian Piero Gasperini, who has made Kone a cornerstone of his midfield.
