Roma's Daniele De Rossi out another four weeks with calf injury

Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi will miss the next four weeks after suffering a calf injury in Wednesday's Champions League loss to Real Madrid.

De Rossi had missed Roma's previous two games in Serie A after initially picking up an injury on Feb. 2 at Sassuolo.

And his calf will sideline further after he reaggravated it duing a 13-minute spell as a substitute in Roma's 2-0 defeat at the Stadio Olimpico.

Roma confirmed the injury on their official website, which said: "For the Giallorossi midfielder, who this season has made 25 appearances and scored three goals, the estimated prognosis for a return is around four weeks."

Four weeks on the sideline would mean De Rossi would miss the second leg against Real Madrid as well as four games in Serie A against Palermo, Empoli, Fiorentina and Udinese.
