Roma's Muhammed Bah Faces 9-Month Layoff After Knee Injury

Muhammed Bah, a midfielder for Roma, was stretchered off the field during a friendly match against Cardiff City, which Roma lost 4-1. Following knee surgery, it has been confirmed that the player will be sidelined for approximately nine months.

The situation appeared serious from the outset when the young player collapsed to the ground within the first thirty minutes of the match played in Wales on Saturday afternoon.

Visibly distraught and brought off the pitch in tears, Bah was well aware that he had sustained another significant injury.

Roma Remains Confident in Bah's Future

This is a cruel blow for the 19-year-old, who had already experienced a similar injury in January 2024. That previous incident, a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, kept him out of action for nearly a full year.

Tragically, the diagnosis is identical this time, affecting his right knee.

The Gambian teenager is scheduled to undergo surgery performed by Dr. Georg Ahlbaumer and is anticipated to be out of play for a minimum of nine months. This represents a nightmarish start to the promising career of Roma's young talent, particularly as it occurs just a couple of months after he extended his contract with the club until June 2028.

Roma midfielder Muhammed Bah was stretchered off during the 4-1 friendly defeat to Cardiff City, and it's confirmed he will be out for approximately 9 months after knee surgery.

The initial impression was already worrying when the player crumpled to the ground in the opening half-hour of the match in Wales on Saturday afternoon.

He was distraught and stretchered off the field in tears, well aware that this was another serious injury.

Roma Believes in Bah's Future

Bah had already suffered a similar injury in January 2024, leaving him out of action for practically an entire year when rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

Now, the 19-year-old has received the exact same diagnosis, but for his right knee.

The Gambian teenager will have surgery performed by Dr. Georg Ahlbaumer and is expected to be sidelined for at least nine months.

It is a nightmare start to the Roma youngster’s career, especially just a couple of months after he extended his contract with the club to June 2028.
