Will miss a couple of games

Bella-Kotchap is dealing with a right adductor injury and should be sidelined for three weeks, Tuttomercatoweb reported.

Analysis: Bella-Kotchap is set to skip the fixtures versus Fiorentina and Lazio but should be able to recuperate during the first international break. Redouane Halhal, Matias Moreno, Ridgeciano Haps, and Juan Jesus are next in line in the back, considering that Bartol Franjic (shoulder) is also absent.

Off early in Frosinone game

Bella-Kotchap had one tackle (one won) and one clearance in 16 minutes in Sunday's match versus Frosinone before leaving due to a muscular injury, Gianluca Di Marzio reported.

Analysis: Bella-Kotchap made the XI despite being questionable but didn't last long and will undergo tests in the coming days to determine the extent of the damage. The coach turned to Richie Sagrado over Matias Moreno in relief, moving Ridgeciano Haps to the bench.
