Stephan El Shaarawy - Diagnosed with strain El Shaarawy suffered a flexor lesion in his right thigh that could sideline him for the rest of the season, Sky Italy informs.

Impact El Shaarawy will be out for four-to-six weeks as the strain is reportedly more severe than a standard one and therefore might run out of time to be back before the final match. He has been the top backup in multiple roles lately. Ola Solbakken and Zeki Celik will absorb his minutes.
