Georginio Wijnaldum set to miss World Cup after suffering broken leg as Jose Mourinho defends Felix Afena-Gyan

Roma and Netherlands midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum is set to miss the Qatar World Cup after suffering a broken leg in training with his club at the weekend, reports suggest. The Dutchman joined Jose Mourinho's side on a season-long loan from French giants Paris Saint-Germain earlier this month, but a fresh start for the 31-year-old has been dealt a crushing blow which is likely to rule him out of the Qatar World Cup in November.

Ad Reports from Gazzetta dello Sport suggest Wijnaldum allegedly collided with a team-mate during a training session at the weekend, with head coach Mourinho having some choice words for those who named Felix Afena-Gyan as the player involved and were critical of the youngster on social media.
