The AS Roma goalkeeper, the Catalan Pau López, had to leave the pitch in the 25th minute after injuring his shoulder, in the first leg of the Europa League semifinals that the Italian team played against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Pau López has injured his shoulder in a shot by Pogba from outside the area. The goalkeeper has excelled clearing the ball, but in his fall his shoulder slipped out of place. Although a member of the Roma medical team has managed to put it in its place, and despite the fact that Pau wanted to continue, he has been “forced” to leave the pitch to prevent it from coming out again. Mirante has replaced him with 1-1 on the scoreboard.
It was the second change in AS Roma, because as soon as the game started, in minute 2, the French midfielder Veretout noticed a puncture in the thigh and three minutes later he had to leave the field, being replaced by the Spanish Gonzalo Villar.
The problems for Roma have not ended here, because after scoring 1-2 they have lost another player. In the 37th minute, left winger Spinazzola suffered another muscle injury and had to be replaced by Bruno Peres.
