De Rossi out for three weeks

By Football Italia staff

Roma will be without Daniele De Rossi for up to three weeks after he tore a calf muscle.

This afternoon the midfielder underwent tests and Sky Sport Italia report medics found a first grade lesion.

The injury to the left calf muscle could keep him out of action for around 15-20 days.

Roma face Empoli this weekend, but Kevin Strootman will also miss out due to a knee injury.
