AS Roma anticipates that key defender Gianluca Mancini will be unavailable for approximately two to three weeks. This prognosis follows medical tests that confirmed a significant injury sustained during their recent 5-2 defeat to Inter Milan.
Mancini was a starter at San Siro on Easter Sunday, where he even managed to score his team’s equalizer. However, his match was cut short as he limped off the pitch at halftime, clearly indicating discomfort in the upper part of his right thigh.
Mancini’s Injury Confirmed for Roma
Subsequent diagnostic tests have now precisely identified the cause of the problem: a lesion in the adductor muscle of his right leg.
This injury is projected to keep Mancini out of action for an estimated two to three weeks.
Consequently, he is expected to miss several crucial upcoming fixtures, including matches against Pisa on April 10, Atalanta on April 18, and potentially the away game versus Bologna on April 25.
This news represents another considerable blow for the Giallorossi, who are already grappling with a lengthy injury list that includes Wesley, Manu Koné, Paulo Dybala, Artem Dovbyk, and Evan Ferguson.
Roma’s ambitions for a Champions League qualification spot took a hit with their comprehensive 5-2 loss to Inter. Nevertheless, their hopes received a slight boost as fourth-placed Como were held to a 0-0 draw by Udinese on the same day, keeping Roma within reachable distance of the top spots.
