Roma are having a tough time dealing with injuries.
The latest one involves Gianluca Mancini, who was forced off after just 45 minutes of the match against Lecce.
The Giallorossi defender suffered a calf problem that forced him off during halftime, making way for Ghilardi.
For Gian Piero Gasperini, this is yet another absence, adding to an already long list of unavailable players: Mancini joins Dovbyk, Ferguson, Dybala, Soulé, Koné, and Celik.
The defender’s condition will be assessed in the coming hours, but the alarm is also raised regarding the national team.
Italy boss Gennaro Gattuso had included him in the squad for the play-off against Northern Ireland, a crucial match for Italy’s fortunes. It remains to be seen whether Mancini will be able to answer the call or whether he will have to remain in the capital.
