Roma was once again without Patrik Schick, according to the Italian media.
The young Czech is scheduled to be in the starting line-up against Benevento on Wednesday, but he will wait a little longer for his debut from the first minute, as he injured his back in training today.
Šik played his first minutes in the "Wolves" jersey on Saturday against Verona in a 3:0 victory (he played the last 15 minutes), but now he is out of the field again, so coach Eusebio di Francesco has to change his plans for the extraordinary round of Serie A.
Due to the same injury, Šik also missed the Champions League duel against Atletico Madrid last Tuesday, and Radja Naingolan is also a question mark for the duel with Benevento due to muscle problems.
The talented striker from Prague was one of the main topics of the summer transfer window in Italy.
In June, he did not undergo medical examinations at Juventus due to heart problems, then until mid-August he was close to Inter, and eventually ended up in Rome.
His transfer from Sampdoria to Roma will amount to around 42 million euros, but the Romans will pay compensation for four years.
