Ebrima Darboe will miss the remainder of the Serie A season after suffering a serious foot injury while on loan at Frosinone from AS Roma.
The Gambian midfielder has been sidelined following a fracture to the fifth metatarsal in his left foot, with Frosinone confirming the 23-year-old has undergone successful surgery in Rome.
The operation was carried out by Professor Santucci at the Casa di Cura Villa Stuart, a facility renowned for treating top-level athletes.
Frosinone Calcio announces that footballer Ebrima Darboe underwent surgery today for a fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his left foot.
The operation, performed by Professor Santucci at the Casa di Cura Villa Stuart in Rome, was a complete success.
The footballer will begin his rehabilitation program immediately,” the club stated on its official platforms.
Darboe had joined Frosinone last summer in a bid to revive his career and gain consistent top-flight minutes after a challenging period at Roma.
His arrival was viewed as a key reinforcement for the newly promoted side, who are battling to maintain their Serie A status.
The injury comes as a significant setback, not just for the player but also for Frosinone, who are fighting to avoid relegation in the final stretch of the season.
Darboe had gradually worked his way into the team’s plans and was beginning to show flashes of the promise that once made him one of Roma’s brightest midfield prospects.
While Darboe begins a long rehabilitation process, his teammates continue their preparations for a crucial phase in their campaign.
Under manager Eusebio Di Francesco, the squad assembled on Monday at the “Città dello Sport” in Ferentino for a training session focused on physical activation, muscle reinforcement, tactical drills, and match scenarios.
Frosinone’s next fixture is a vital clash against Sassuolo, set for Monday evening.
With both clubs hovering near the relegation zone, the outcome could prove pivotal in determining who survives the drop.
Darboe’s absence will undoubtedly be felt, but the club remains hopeful that his recovery will go smoothly and that he will return to action fully fit for the next campaign.
