Roma star Wesley sidelined for a month after Brazil injury
The Brazilian was released early from international duty last week due to an injury.
According to Italian sources, including Sky Sport Italia and Rome-based ReteSport, exams conducted in Rome this morning have confirmed a muscle-tendon lesion that will sideline the Brazilian for four weeks.
Wesley is in his first season at the Stadio Olimpico, but has quickly become a key player for Gian Piero Gasperini, scoring four goals and providing two assists in 35 appearances across all competitions.
Roma are fighting for a Champions League spot and are currently level on 54 points with Juventus, three behind fourth-placed Como.
After the break, Roma will visit table leaders Inter at the Stadio Meazza in Milan, but over the next month, they’ll also play against Atalanta, Bologna, Fiorentina and Pisa.
