Renato Sanches, currently facing a leg muscle injury, will miss AS Roma’s upcoming Europa League match against Servette due to concerns over the harsh weather conditions expected in Switzerland.
The match, scheduled for Thursday at 21:00, is set to take place amid cold weather and potentially adverse playing conditions.
The Portuguese midfielder’s decision to sit out the match stems from fears of exacerbating his injury, according to reports from Italian media. Roma, vying for progression in the Europa League, could secure their advancement with a win in Switzerland. Sanches, on loan from PSG, is opting to rest and recover for Roma’s upcoming Serie A game against Sassuolo on Sunday.
Despite his talent, Sanches has struggled for playing time at Roma this season, appearing six times and scoring once in 139 minutes of play.
