Two weeks out for Paredes

By Football Italia staff

Roma have announced that Leandro Paredes will be sidelined for just over two weeks with an ankle injury.

The midfielder picked up a knock in the win over Bologna on Sunday night, and scans today confirmed he’ll have to spend time on the sidelines.

“Today Leandro Paredes underwent medical scans that showed a partial tear of the lateral ligament of the right ankle,” a statement on the Giallorossi’s official website reads.

“The Argentinian midfielder picked up the injury from an opponent in Sunday’s match against Bologna. The realistic prognosis is around 15 days.”

Fortunately for Luciano Spalletti’s side, their next match against Atalanta is 12 days away, due to the international break.

Paredes could therefore return to face Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League on November 24.
