Perrotta blow for Roma
Roma midfielder Simone Perrotta could be out of action for up to two months after injuring himself in training.
Tests have confirmed Perrotta sustained an injury to a muscle in his hip and, while the club revealed they would know more about the length of his lay-off in the next few days, reports suggest he will not be back in action until the end of April.
The 31-year-old will miss the second leg of Roma's Champions League last-16 tie against Arsenal and also be absent from a quarter-final tie if they progress.
Perrotta could also be sidelined for around eight Serie A games.
