Roma lose Mancini for 2-3 weeks as tests show new injury
Roma are expected to be without Gianluca Mancini for two to three weeks after tests showed a serious injury during the 5-2 defeat to Inter.
The defender had been in the starting XI at San Siro on Easter Sunday and scored the equaliser, but then limped off at half-time clutching the top of his right thigh.
Mancini injury confirmed for Roma
Now tests have identified the source of the problem, namely a lesion to the adductor in the right leg.
According to the Corriere dello Sport and Sky Sport Italia, it means Mancini is expected to be out of action for two to three weeks.
It would rule him out of the games against Pisa on April 10, Atalanta on April 18 and possibly also the trip to Bologna on April 25.
This is a further blow for the Giallorossi, who were already missing Wesley, Manu Koné, Paulo Dybala, Artem Dovbyk and Evan Ferguson.
Their chances of making it into the Champions League suffered a blow with that 5-2 defeat to Inter, although they were boosted by the fact Como in fourth were held to a 0-0 draw by Udinese today, keeping them within reach.
