The exams highlighted the lesion of a micromuscle that inserts into the metatarsal. He will miss Austria-Azerbaijan on the 24th, but could return 3 days later against Estonia
Just fifteen minutes. An aerial contrast to Gyomber. The landing, the… fallout. And the change request. Marko Arnautovic was the protagonist – with Motta – of the catchphrase of the last two weeks: in Salerno he lived on the third bench in a row (from 1′) and the Bologna coach put him in the second half, a moment after the 2-1 Salernitana made by Dia. Well, Arna’s game lasted exactly 15′: foot in pain, no contusion but a painful landing due to an unnatural torsion of the forefoot. The same foot on which bone edema had developed on January 4th and which kept him out due to injury for two months. The lesion is in the extensor brevis muscle of the right foot.
play or not?
—
While Bologna was returning by train from Salerno, yesterday morning the player flew to Vienna to join the Austrian national team who will play against Azerbaijan on the 24th and Estonia on the 27th, again at home. The record holder for appearances with Austria underwent magnetic resonance and ultrasound scans which did not show bone breakage (the foot had deflated a bit) but rather the lesion of a micromuscle that inserts into the metatarsus, the extensor brevis. Annoying and painful, but certainly less than what was assumed at the beginning, or a bone involvement. Thus, Arna will stay with the national team, undergo therapy and see if he can play in the second of the two qualifying matches. Thiago Motta will then evaluate for the restart of the championship, Sunday 2 April (12.30) against Udinese: and there the Arna yes or Arna no catchphrase will start again, Arna immediately or once the match has begun. But in the meantime the injury is less serious than expected.
