Roma, Pellegrini to miss Gent and Cagliari match with injury

After being forced to leave the pitch at half-time during the game against Lecce, Roma midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini can heave a sigh of relief as his injury appears to be less serious than initially thought.

The Italian midfielder will be out for about 7-10 days after that the medical tests he underwent today revealed a minor injury to his left flexor muscle. Pellegrini will hence be sidelined for the games against Gent in the Europa League and Cagliari in the Serie A, while he could return to the pitch on 8th March for the match versus Sampdoria.
