Roma won 2-0 against Stuttgart and moved significantly closer to the Europa League round of 16.
However, even a beautiful evening like the one at the Stadio Olimpico brought bad news for Gian Piero Gasperini, who also risks losing Gianluca Mancini.
The Giallorossi defender came on late to help his team defend their lead, but a knock in the penalty area threatened to cost him.
As reported by Sky Sport, the number 23 suffered a flexor bruise.
Gasperini faces a defensive emergency, having already been without Mario Hermoso at least until the match against Napoli in February.
Mancini’s condition will be assessed in the coming days, but he is doubtful against AC Milan.
The Giallorossi will face the Rossoneri on Sunday evening at 8:45 PM in Serie A’s Matchday 22.
If the number 23 were to withdraw, Evan Ndicka, Daniele Ghilardi, and Jan Ziolkowski would be the only defenders available to Gasperini.
