Catania striker Flavio Russo has sustained a significant hamstring injury that has escalated in severity. Initially reported as a first-degree flexor injury expected to sideline the player for one to one and a half months, subsequent medical examinations revealed a more serious lesion of the hamstring tendon conjoined tendon.

As a result of the injury sustained during a match against Barletta, Russo is scheduled to undergo surgery at a specialized European facility. While early estimates suggested a short-term absence, the requirement for surgery has extended the projected recovery timeline to between four and six months, with a potential return in early 2027.
