Translation is fine. Like has been said, it's a wound, probably a puncture wound. You'd get that from a stud. I think he picked that up against Napoli and then played against Bologna with the same problem.
That can be an excuse for recent inconsistent performances - if the guy hadn't already been doing the same for 75 games prior.
Does he know he is allowed to take a shot on goal? He is so undecisive with his passes in the final third, just shoot once in a while when the ball falls for you at the edge of the box. Prefer a 50/50 chance of a ball in the stands over a failed back pass and dangerous counter.
