Leon Bailey Out for 20 Days With New Muscle Injury, Will Miss Roma’s Trip to Rangers

Recurring fitness problems have put Roma's €22.5m purchase option in doubt.

Overview

  • Italian reports say the winger sustained a left biceps femoris injury that rules him out of Thursday’s Europa League match in Glasgow.
  • Bailey has logged only 166 minutes for Roma this season across one start and four substitute appearances.
  • Gian Piero Gasperini suggested Bailey may have been rushed back earlier after the player was subbed off at halftime in a recent outing.
  • Local outlets have criticized his form, describing a noticeable decline and urging improvement following initial encouraging cameos.
  • With Paulo Dybala and Evan Ferguson injured and Tommaso Baldanzi not on the UEFA list, Bailey’s absence further thins Roma’s attacking options.
