The Europa League last sixteen first leg with AS Roma has come too soon for Athletic Club star Alvaro Djal\u00f3. The forward is still in recovery after sustaining a sprained ankle against Real Betis<\/a>. This came only days after suffering an injury to the same ankle in January\u2019s match with Besiktas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Djal\u00f3 initially injured his LCL in Istanbul on the 22nd of January.\u00a0 He then took further damage to his LCL as well as his MCL in Sevilla just over a week later on the 3rd of February. A month later, he still hasn\u2019t completed the necessary steps in his recovery. The medical team will not clear Djal\u00f3 to play this week.<\/p>\n

After suffering repeated ankle sprains in a short time, it\u2019s essential that Athletic Club exercise caution with the 25 year old. Currently, Djal\u00f3 has only just resumed outdoor training<\/a>. He still needs a week before being able to rejoin the group. This means the tie with Roma is unfortunately beyond his reach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Alvaro Djal\u00f3 joined the Red and Whites this summer in a \u20ac15m transfer from Braga<\/a>. Last season, he starred in thirty league games in Portugal. He racked up eight goals while adding five assists for Braga, capturing the attention of Athletic Club. With only one goal contribution in thirteen games, he will be aiming to up his game upon his return.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Athletic Club have been one of the highest performing teams in this season<\/a>\u2018s Europa League. In the league phase, they won six out of their eight games to finish second.<\/p>\n

The Basque side would be hoping to reach their second Europa League final, this time in their Katedrala \u2013 the San Mam\u00e9s Stadium in Bilbao. Previously, they reached the 2012 final, losing 3-0 to Atl\u00e9tico Madrid. They go into Thursday\u2019s first leg with AS Roma as slight underdogs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
