Leandro Paredes could miss the remainder of 2016 after being ruled out with a ankle sprain, Roma have revealed.
The Argentine midfielder, who is developing into a key part in Roma’s midfield when called upon, missed their 3-2 win over Pescara at the weekend through injury.
Paredes has been linked with a move to the Premier League in the past, is expected to be ruled out for between two and three weeks and that could see the midfielder miss Roma’s remaining five matches before the start of the winter break.
It means that Roma will be without the Argentine for big matches against Lazio, AC Milan and Juventus, as well as fixtures with Chievo and their final Europa League group game versus
Astra Giurgiu.
The 22-year-old is still looking to nail down a regular starting berth in the league having only made five starts in Serie A this season, but he has reserved his best football for the Europa League, where he has garnered a WhoScored rating of 7.44. In fact, no player is averaging more passes per game in the Europa League this season than Paredes (99.8).
