Roma have been dealing with an injury crisis seemingly since the start of the season and are missing several key men as they take on Servette on Thursday. On the other hand, the situation has improved since José Mourinho took charge, Corriere dello Sport informs.
The Special One and his staff have been occasionally blamed for the preparation. However, the data provided by Noisefeed suggest that, since the Portuguese gaffer arrived in the Italian capital, the physical problems have decreased by 45 percent relative to the three previous seasons.
Even though Roma have had 12 absences already, they are the sixth healthiest team in Serie A. Only Sassuolo, Monza, Milan, and Empoli have fared better. They are on par with Lecce and Bologna. Napoli and Juventus top the infamous table.
In addition, the Giallorossi have avoided long-term injuries. Absences that last more than 60 days fall into such a category. They have had none.
Moreover, the players who have gotten hurt all have a checkered history. Even cutting-edge technologies can’t prevent that. Paulo Dybala, Renato Sanches, Houssem Aouar, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Chris Smalling, and Diego Llorente have alternatively spent time on the shelf. While all the others had standard muscular problems, the Englishman suffered the most severe ailment. He’s having trouble recovering from tendon soreness.
