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.
