Thanks to muscle injuries robbing Roma of Chris Smalling, Roger Ibañez, and Marash Kumbulla for most of 2021, Paulo Fonseca is no stranger to dealing with a depleted roster, but the injury bug has bitten Roma
again, as the Giallorossi will now have to do without one of their most important players, midfielder Jordan Veretout. If you caught Wednesday's nail-biting victory over Fiorentina, you likely saw Veretout fall to the pitch around the hour mark, writhing in pain as Franck Ribery carried the ball up the pitch in a sequence that eventually led to Leonardo Spinazzola's own goal.
