Sampdoria defender Bjorn Meijer has suffered a muscle injury, forcing him to miss the upcoming match against Cesena. The Dutch left-back, who recently joined the club from Club Brugge, sustained the injury during a training session prior to the team's departure for Romagna.
Initial assessments suggest the injury is a muscle strain that could sideline Meijer for approximately four weeks. Medical examinations scheduled for Monday are expected to confirm the exact severity and recovery timeline.
In light of Meijer's absence, manager Bernardo Corradi faces a selection challenge on the left flank. Meanwhile, Yari Verschaeren has been included in the matchday squad and may make his official debut for the club.
