Darboe suffers season-ending foot injury
Darboe suffers season-ending foot injury
Ebrima Darboe has concluded his season earlier than anticipated.
The Gambian midfielder, on loan to Frosinone but owned by Roma, suffered a fracture of the fifth metatarsal of his left foot in the last match played in Cesena.
The instrumental examinations, carried out in Villa Stuart, confirmed the need for surgery, probably scheduled before Easter.

Just over a month from the end of the Serie B season, the injury forces Darboe to say goodbye to the field for the rest of the season.
Even assuming a miraculous qualification of Frosinone in the playoffs, the physical recovery would still be incompatible with the timing of the competition.
A bitter end for a player who, during a difficult year for the Ciociari, had managed to carve out a central role in Bianco's midfield, contributing to the team's rise out of the relegation zone.
After recovery, Darboe is expected to report back at Trigoria in July for preseason when his future will be addressed by the club.

Italy beat Moldova as troubled Spalletti era comes to an end
Italy got off the mark in their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign with Monday's 2-0 win over Moldova, Luciano Spalletti's last game as Italy coach. Giacomo Raspadori and Andrea Cambiaso scored in each half for the Azzurri who sit third in Group I, trailing leaders Norway by nine points, and are at risk of missing a third straight World Cup. Advertisement Only top spot in the group gives direct qualification for next year's finals in the USA, Canada and Mexico and even having played two games fewer than Norway, Italy's best chance looks to the be finishing second and reaching the play-offs. However Italy were denied a place at the last two World Cups after being beaten in the play-offs and are in the midst of an identity crisis following their disastrous title defeat at last year's European Championship. Spalletti, who presided over a dismal last-16 exit at the Euros, coached Italy on Monday having already been told that he was to be sacked after the 3-0 thumping dished out by Norway in their opening qualifier on Friday. "When you're the national team coach you have no excuses, it's you who selects the squad," said Spallett to public broadcaster Rai. Advertisement "It's the coach who has to make the difference and unfortunately I wasn't able to do that." Spallettti goes out after another uninspiring match played in a flat atmosphere in Reggio Emilia, where Italy got the three points needed but did little to inspire confidence in the future whoever replaces Spalletti. Claudio Ranieri is widely reported as being the Italian Football Federation's preferred candidate to replace Spalletti and guide Italy towards the World Cup, even though he retired from coaching after performing a near miracle with Roma this past season. Ranieri is 73 years old and working as a consultant for the American owners of his boyhood team Roma who he dragged from near Serie A's relegation zone to fifth place.

Robin Gosens keen on Roma as an option
Robin Gosens keen on Roma as an option Robin Gosens is being linked with a move to Roma. The Giallorossi are in advanced talks to send Angelino to Al Hilal and are therefore looking to bring in a new leftback. Given Gian Piero Gasperini's recent appointment, Robin Gosens – currently at Fiorentina – has been linked as a potential replacement due to his strong bond with the former Atalanta manager. At the moment, however, there has been no contact between Roma and Gosens' entourage. Nonetheless, according to Retesport, the German international would be keen on Roma as an option for next season.

The ball, seemingly remote-controlled, sailed under the crossbar: the stands erupted, and it was pure poetry on the green pitch. On the pitch, teammates and opponents were left speechless. Among them were historic football names like Veron, Fiore, Panucci, Aldair, and Candela. But the undisputed star was him, the eternal Giallorossi legend, who gave the crowd goosebumps. Advertisement The event, already a nostalgic dive into great Italian football, turned into an unforgettable spectacle thanks to a technical gesture worthy of a football museum.
