Roma sealed their spot in next season’s Europa League with a nervy 2-1 win over Spezia, just days after their ill-tempered final defeat to Sevilla.

Paulo Dybala secured the win with a dramatic 90th minute penalty.

But Roma’s victory appears to have come at a massive cost.

Abraham was battling an opponent for the ball when the unfortunate incident occurred.

The England star’s legs gave way as he leaned in too hard before slipping.

Abraham then did a 360 in mid-air as he screamed in pain.

And the former Chelsea star was unable to continue as he was taken away by a medical cart with his head in his hands.

Journalist Fabio Romano later hinted at the worst possible news.

He tweeted: “Bad news for Tammy Abraham. It’s ACL injury for English striker on final game of the season with AS Roma, Sky Sport are reporting.

“Waiting for club statement indications, Sky report that he’d be out until the end of the year, November/December.”

An injury of that nature would put an end to a possible Premier League return for Abraham, two years after he left Chelsea.

Everton are looking at Abraham as they seek a target man — with Wout Weghorst also a target.

Manchester United are long-term admirers too.

And Aston Villa have also been linked with their former loanee.

Meanwhile, Chelsea have the option of re-signing him for £64million this summer thanks to an active buyback clause.

Abraham scored 30 goals in 82 games for the Blues, helping them win the Champions League in 2021.

But that same summer saw him shipped off to Roma by then-boss Thomas Tuchel.

Abraham enjoyed a thrilling debut campaign with 27 goals in all competitions.

However, he managed just nine this term, leading to reports of an impending exit.
