Rodrigo Bentancur and Guglielmo Vicario will not participate in the upcoming match against Sunderland. Head coach Roberto De Zerbi confirmed their unavailability during a press briefing.
Injury Updates on Bentancur and Vicario
Vicario, the goalkeeper, recently underwent surgery for a hernia. He is not expected to return to the lineup this week, though De Zerbi hopes for a quicker recovery.
Bentancur, the midfielder, is actively training with the team but has not yet fully regained fitness following hamstring surgery in January. De Zerbi mentioned that while Bentancur is working with the squad, he is still not ready for match play.
Additional Player Injury News
The team faces further challenges as Mo Kudus has encountered a setback in his recovery from a quad injury sustained earlier this year. He will also miss the Sunderland match.
- James Maddison
- Deki Kulusevski
- Wilson Odobert
- Ben Davies
These absences pose significant challenges for the squad, but De Zerbi remains optimistic about the players who are fit to compete.
Looking Ahead
The absence of key players like Bentancur and Vicario could affect the team’s performance against Sunderland. However, with the remaining players prepared to step up, the team aims to secure essential points in the league.
