Fiorentina will be without Micah Richards for around 10 days after it was confirmed the full-back had suffered a hamstring strain.

Micah Richards will miss Fiorentina's UEFA Europa League semi-final second leg against Sevilla with a hamstring injury.

The England international joined Fiorentina on a season-long loan from Manchester City, and has made 19 appearances in all competitions.

Richards came on as a substitute during the 3-0 defeat to Sevilla in the first leg last week, but will play no part in the return on Thursday.
