Roma, bad news for Pellegrini: Unfavorable outcome from instrumental tests

Roma’s captain, Lorenzo Pellegrini, experienced a problem during training two days ago, on Christmas Eve, which forced him to cut his running session short. This morning, in fact, the former Sassuolo midfielder underwent instrumental tests to determine the extent of the injury, but the news was not good.

As reported by Sky Sport, Pellegrini has suffered a second-degree lesion of the left hamstring. The player will be sidelined for about a month: a heavy blow for Roma and terrible news for Roma fans. He will attempt a last-minute recovery for Roma-Milan on January 25.

In addition to the absences of El Aynaoui and Ndicka due to the Africa Cup of Nations, Gasperini also loses yet another midfielder for the resumption of the league. Given his absence, Gasperini will likely opt for Baldanzi in the attacking midfield role in the 17th round’s late match against Genoa, scheduled for Monday evening at the Olimpico.
