Darboe suffers season-ending foot injury
Ebrima Darboe has concluded his season earlier than anticipated.
The Gambian midfielder, on loan to Frosinone but owned by Roma, suffered a fracture of the fifth metatarsal of his left foot in the last match played in Cesena.
The instrumental examinations, carried out in Villa Stuart, confirmed the need for surgery, probably scheduled before Easter.

Just over a month from the end of the Serie B season, the injury forces Darboe to say goodbye to the field for the rest of the season.
Even assuming a miraculous qualification of Frosinone in the playoffs, the physical recovery would still be incompatible with the timing of the competition.
A bitter end for a player who, during a difficult year for the Ciociari, had managed to carve out a central role in Bianco's midfield, contributing to the team's rise out of the relegation zone.
After recovery, Darboe is expected to report back at Trigoria in July for preseason when his future will be addressed by the club.

Brescia have licence revoked for bankruptcy, kicked out of Italy's Serie C
Brescia have had their licence revoked for bankruptcy and will not be allowed to start next season Italy's third-tier Serie C. The club, who last played in Serie A in 2019-20, were relegated from Serie B in May after being deducted four points for financial irregularities. The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) confirmed on Thursday the club's licence had been revoked and they would not be allowed to compete in Serie C in 2025-26. The statement outlined unpaid debts to the league, players and coaching staff. Advertisement It means Brescia are now likely to have to form as a new entity, which many Italian clubs have done previously, and look to begin next season in Serie D. The club are owned by Massimo Cellino, the former Leeds United owner, who, alongside his son and board member Edoardo, has been handed a sixth-month ban. Brescia had finished 15th in Serie B but after being found to have breached the rules, the points deduction resulted in them dropping into the automatic relegation places. That gave a reprieve to Sampdoria who, instead of dropping into the third tier for the first time, entered a relegation playoff against Salernitana. The second leg of that tie was abandoned after crowd trouble in the second half with Sampdoria leading 2-0 (4-0 on aggregate) at the Arechi Stadium. The abandonment meant Sampdoria survived to play in Serie B next season. Former players of note at the club include Roberto Baggio, Pep Guardiola, Gheorghe Hagi, Andrea Pirlo and Mario Balotelli.
