Saelemaekers could miss up to 2 months of action if ankle fracture confirmed

Roma are increasingly worried about the status of Alexis Saelemaekers.

The Belgian winger went down with an ankle injury in yesterday’s match with Genoa.

Saelemaekers was unable to continue and was eventually replaced by Mario Hermoso who made his Roma debut.

According to Il Messaggero, Roma initially believed the player had simply suffered a sprained ankle.

However, over the course of the next few hours Saelemaekers has proven unable to put weight on that foot and is now scheduled to undergo additional tests at Trigoria.

Roma fear Saelemaekers may have suffered a fractured ankle which could potentially sideline him for up to 2 months.
