Tammy Abraham thanked Roma fans for their goodwill messages and told them that he will ‘be okay’ after suffering a horrific hit to the left eye that required stitches.
The striker’s participation in Serie A game against Hellas Verona had previously been questioned because he suffered flu-like symptoms the previous night and on Sunday 19th.
He started the game, but only managed to play for 15 minutes before teammate Gianluca Mancini unintentionally booted him in the eye.
Abraham shook his head in annoyance after several minutes of treatment and left the field holding a cloth to his left eye.
Abraham posted an Instagram Story photo of himself wearing a hospital robe and still holding some padding to his eye after the 1-0 victory earned by an Ola Solbakken’s goal.
“Thank you for the messages. I’ll be okay,” the Roma striker wrote.
Abraham required sutures after sustaining a gash on his eyebrow, according to a statement from Roma.
