Aston Villa loanee Leon Bailey has had a difficult loan at AS Roma so far.
He picked up a muscle injury in his first training session with the club and only returned last month. Bailey has since made five appearances, totalling 166 minutes.
The winger came off the bench against AC Milan early in the match. At half-time, he was substituted, and there were concerns immediately.
Now, Tuttomercatoweb report the summer arrival from Aston Villa is ‘out again’ due to a torn hamstring.

Gazzetta dello Sport explain he picked up the injury during a training session on Tuesday. He is now expected to miss Roma’s Europa League clash against Rangers on Thursday.
The newspaper report that the 28-year-old will be out for at least 20 days.
They also criticise the loan deal with Aston Villa, noting how poorly Bailey has performed so far at Roma. They describe the loan spell as being more of a horror film than the exciting drama expected.
Roma have an option to buy the player permanently. Considering Bailey’s injury worries, Aston Villa will be hoping things change quickly.
