Pellegrini Sidelined One Month With Hamstring Tear as Roma Weighs January Moves

The diagnosis sharpens Roma’s need for short‑term goalscoring help.

Overview

  • Medical tests identified a second‑degree hamstring tear, sidelining Lorenzo Pellegrini for roughly a month with a target return around 25 January against Milan, which means he will miss Genoa, Atalanta, Lecce, Sassuolo, a Torino doubleheader and Stuttgart in Europe.
  • With his contract running down, he will be free to agree a pre‑contract in six days, sharpening decisions on his future.
  • Roma are evaluating attacking cover, with Italian reports linking moves for Giacomo Raspadori and Joshua Zirkzee and noting potential outgoing deals to stay within financial rules.
  • Juventus travel to Pisa tonight at 20:45 CET, live on DAZN and Sky, with a 22‑man squad that includes a recovered Weston McKennie and excludes Francisco Conceição and Juan Cabal; bookmakers price Juve as clear favorites.
  • Fiorentina left Richardson out of the squad after recent public remarks, with reporting indicating a likely January sale.
