The captain had already been in doubt for last week’s trip to Cagliari, but was still in the starting XI despite flu symptoms.
“Totti is recovering, but was very weak over the last few days and I don’t want to risk him,” revealed Coach Rudi Garcia in a Press conference.
“I would prefer to let him get back to fitness without pressure so he can be at 100 per cent.”
Right-back Maicon is also ruled out of this match against bottom of the table Parma.
“Maicon had a great start to the season, then had knee problems. He’s out of action at the moment and is working with his fitness coach. We hope he can be back soon, because we have so many games coming up and need a devastating player down the flank like him.”
Alessandro Florenzi and Miralem Pjanic return, but Jose Holebas is suspended.
On the injury list are Victor Ibarbo, Juan Manuel Iturbe, Leandro Castan, Kevin Strootman and Federico Balzaretti.
Roma squad for Parma: Astori, Cole, De Rossi, De Sanctis, Doumbia, Florenzi, Gervinho, Keita, Ljajic, Manolas, Yanga-Mbiwa, Marchegiani, Nainggolan, Paredes, Pellegrini, Pjanic, Sanabria, Skorupski, Spolli, Torosidis, Ucan, Verde
