MILAN: Manu Kone is set to be out of action for around a month after his club Roma announced today that the France midfielder had suffered a hamstring tear.
The 24-year-old limped off the field during Sunday&#8217;s 1-1 draw with AC Milan which put Roma third in Serie A, and the club from the Italian capital said in a short statement that he had picked up the &#8220;grade two tear&#8221; in his right hamstring.
Roma did not say for how long Kone would be absent, but Italian media widely report that he will be out of action for at least a month.
That would mean Kone missing Roma&#8217;s trip to Italian champions Napoli, who are fourth on goal difference behind Gian Piero Gasperini&#8217;s side, on Feb 15.
He should be back in time for France&#8217;s first pre-2026 World Cup friendlies against Brazil and Colombia in late March.
France face Norway, African Cup of Nations winners Senegal, and an inter-confederation play-off winner in Group I of the World Cup, which will be held this coming summer in the US, Canada and Mexico.
