Romania midfielder Mirel Radoi is likely to need eye surgery after being stretchered off during his side's 1-1 draw with Italy here on Friday.

The holding midfielder was taken from the field with his eye bandaged after a clash of heads with team-mate Razvan Rat, who emerged unscathed.

Romanian coach Victor Piturca said afterwards: "Apparently he will need eye surgery and he has a broken nose too. I've not spoken to the doctor but I don't think there is any chance he will play the next game."
