Roma midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini left the field early in the match of the 13th round of the Italian championship against Lazio (0:1).
In the 53rd minute of the derby, the captain of the Romans asked for a substitution. This morning, the midfielder underwent a medical examination in Trigoria, which revealed that the player has an injury to his right thigh. It will take more than two weeks for Lorenzo to recover. Thus, he will not help Roma in the two Serie A matches against Sassuolo and Torino that remain before the start of the World Cup.
We will remind that the Italian national team, whose colors are protected by Pellegrini, will not participate in the World Cup in Qatar.
