Flavio Russo faces injury setback at Catania

Catania striker Flavio Russo has sustained a first-degree flexor injury, which is expected to sideline him for approximately one to one and a half months. The injury comes at a critical time for the player, who has been a key offensive contributor, scoring three goals in the first six matches of the season.

Following the injury, the club faces challenges in managing its forward line, particularly as other players like Coda are not yet at peak physical condition. The absence of Russo, noted for his work rate and modern center-forward characteristics, presents a significant tactical hurdle for manager Emilio Longo.
