on the sidelines after sustaining an ankle injury in
Sunday's win over Lazio.
Roma have received some disappointing news on the injury
front in the wake of their 2-0 Serie A win over rivals Lazio as
they will be without Mohamed Salah for up to six weeks due to
an ankle problem.
The Egypt international featured from the start in Sunday's
encounter at the Stadio Olimpico, but was taken off on a
stretcher just before the hour mark following a challenge from
Lazio's Senad Lulic.
Salah underwent further tests on Monday and Roma announced
the 23-year-old has sustained ligament damage to his right
ankle.
"Mohamed Salah has undergone medical tests this morning
after being forced off with an ankle injury in the 58th minute of
last night’s derby win over Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico
following a challenge from Senad Lulic," a statement on the
club's website reads.
"The tests revealed that Salah has sustained Grade II ligament
damage to his right ankle.
"It is expected that the Giallorossi No. 11 who has made 11
league appearances for Roma so far this season and is the
club’s third-highest scorer with six goals in all competitions, will
be out for between four and six weeks."
Salah will miss Roma's remaining two Champions League
games against Barcelona on November 24 and versus BATE on
December 9.
