Osasuna's Raul Moro: Forced off with foot injury

Rotowire ·

Moro (foot) was forced off with a foot injury in the 84th minute of Osasuna's friendly against Al Ain, the club announced.

Analysis:

Moro went down after twisting his foot while attempting to intercept a pass, staying down in visible pain before receiving treatment and being replaced by Unai Santos in the 84th minute after Osasuna gave him a few minutes to try to continue. He had shown encouraging signs before requesting the substitution, nearly scoring in the 55th minute with a shot that struck the crossbar. This setback follows a difficult stretch for the winger, who had already missed the friendly against Napoli as a precaution after hurting his foot against Norwich before returning to group training this week. Moi Gomez and Jonathan Dubasin are the most likely candidates to fill in on the left wing if Moro is unavailable for the season opener, with a medical exam still needed to determine the exact severity of the injury.
