Roma Defender Rensch Sidelined Up to Ten Days After Muscle Scare
Roma's Devyne Rensch will miss approximately one to one and a half weeks due to a left flexor issue, according to an MRI result. The defender is expected to be held out of the upcoming match against Lecce as a precaution.
The MRI on Devyne Rensch’s left flexor confirmed no structural damage, offering Roma relief after the defender was forced out of the Fiorentina fixture. The club now expects a recovery window of roughly one to one and a half weeks, with the timeline based on the scan’s findings.
As a precautionary measure, Rensch will not travel with the squad for the upcoming match against Lecce. His absence is short-term, but Roma will need to adjust their backline for at least that one game, with the defender likely returning soon after.
This brief injury layoff may affect Roma’s immediate defensive rotation, but the short timeline limits broader impact. Fans and fantasy managers could see a temporary gap, while the team’s depth will be tested against Lecce. However, the precautionary approach suggests the club prioritizes long-term fitness, which may reassure supporters that the season’s rhythm won’t be seriously disrupted.
