Bilbao star Oihan Sancet at risk of missing Roma duel | OneFootball

Bad news for Athletic Club Bilbao ahead of their upcoming Europa League fixtures against Roma.

During the 7-1 win over Valladolid, Oihan Sancet was forced to leave the pitch due to an injury.

The following morning, the Basque club announced the conditions of the midfielder, who suffered a muscle injury to the rectus femoris of his right leg.

At the moment, the recovery time is not yet defined, but the situation will be monitored carefully in the coming days.

A hard blow for the Basques, who have lost one of the main protagonists of this season. Oihan Sancet, in fact, has shown great numbers: with a total of 1,636 minutes played between the league and cups, the young Spanish centre-forward has played 26 games, scoring 14 goals and providing 3 assists.

His performances have been fundamental for the team, contributing both in the offensive phase and in supporting his teammates.

However, the injury could compromise his presence in the next crucial Europa League matches against Roma, leaving Bilbao with a major unknown ahead of the two decisive matches.
