Roma Confirm Wesley Out for a Month With Right-Thigh Muscle-Tendon Injury

The month-long absence forces Gian Piero Gasperini to reshuffle the flanks during a tight race for a Champions League berth.

Overview

  • Wesley, who left Brazil duty after the France friendly, had scans in Rome on Monday that confirmed a right hamstring muscle‑tendon lesion and a layoff of at least 30 days.
  • He will miss the trip to Inter on April 5 at San Siro and is expected to sit out games against Pisa, Atalanta, and Bologna, with a possible return around the first weekend of May versus Fiorentina.
  • Roma are weighing short-term fixes at full-back, with Kōstas Tsimikas the natural left-side option and alternatives including Devyne Rensch, Stephan El Shaarawy, and Angeliño.
  • The 22-year-old has been a regular under Gasperini in his first Roma season, logging 35 appearances with four goals and a handful of assists across competitions.
  • Manchester City’s interest has been reported by English media, which suggest the injury could influence summer transfer dynamics, though no formal move has been announced.
