Roma’s Gianluca Mancini Out 2–3 Weeks With Adductor Lesion

Overview

• Medical tests identified an adductor lesion in Mancini’s right leg, with the defender expected to miss two to three weeks.
• He is set to sit out matches against Pisa and Atalanta and could also miss the trip to Bologna depending on recovery.
• Mancini scored and then left at half-time holding his right thigh during Roma’s 5-2 defeat to Inter at San Siro.
• The setback adds to a long injury list that already includes Wesley, Manu Koné, Paulo Dybala, Artem Dovbyk and Evan Ferguson.
• The heavy loss damaged Roma’s top-four push, yet Como’s 0-0 draw with Udinese kept fourth place within reach.
