It has been confirmed Roma captain Francesco Totti will be out
of action for up to 60 days following further tests at the Villa
Stuart Clinic this morning.
Scans have revealed the Giallorossi captain has suffered a
second-grade muscular tear in his right leg, the new results mean
the one month lay-off prediction has gone out of the
window.
Totti will now need between six and eight weeks to make a
full recovery.
It's bad news for Roma coach Luciano Spalletti as his main man
will miss several vital games including the Serie A match against
Milan, as well the first leg of the Champions League last 16
clash with Arsenal.
The talisman has been ordered to rest for the next 10 days
and he will undergo further tests at the beginning of the new
year.
Er Pupone sustained the injury during the 3-2 defeat to
Catania after attempting a back-heel pass.
The Giallorossi are currently in eleventh place in Serie A, nine
points off the Champions League places.
