Mats Hummels Faces Injury Setback in Troubled AS Roma Season

The 35-year-old defender was forced off during his Serie A home debut, adding to a challenging start at his new club.

Mats Hummels was substituted in the 74th minute of AS Roma's 2-0 loss to Atalanta Bergamo due to a suspected thigh injury.
The injury occurred during Hummels' first Serie A start for Roma, following months of limited playing time since his September signing.
AS Roma, currently 15th in the Serie A table, is struggling this season with only a two-point cushion above the relegation zone.
Hummels has had a mixed impact at Roma, recently causing a penalty in a Europa League match before scoring a last-minute equalizer in the same game.
Claudio Ranieri, Roma's third coach this season, has expressed confidence in Hummels despite the team's ongoing struggles.
