Roma: End of the season for Evan Ndicka, is the World Cup at risk?

Evan Ndicka left the pitch injured during the Rome derby, with tests this morning revealing a grade two tear in his right hamstring. Initial estimates suggest he will be sidelined for three to four weeks.

The Ivorian defender was forced off early on Sunday in the capital derby between Roma and Lazio (2-0). Medical tests this morning confirmed a muscle tear in his right hamstring.
This injury brings a premature end to his season with Roma, as the defender will not be able to return to the pitch for the capital club until the end of the current campaign.

The medical staff's focus now is to get the player ready for the start of the World Cup. Côte d'Ivoire will face Ecuador in their opening Group E clash, and Ndicka is hoping to be fit for this major encounter.
