Roma lost Daniele De Rossi and Kostas Manolas to injury against Fiorentina, the midfielder coming off worse.
Rudi Garcia was forced to make two substitutions in the opening 25 minutes of their Europa League tie in Florence.
De Rossi made two errors just before he was replaced and medics later explained it was because he had sprained his left ankle.
The midfielder, wearing the captain’s armband in the absence of Francesco Totti, tried to continue, but eventually had to concede he was in no condition to keep playing.
