Roma skipper and talisman Francesco Totti is facing a spell on the sidelines after picking up a hamstring injury in the 2-0 win over Napoli on Friday.
The 37-year-old has been at the forefront of the Giallorossi's imperious early form, having chipped in with three goals and six assists already this season to lead the club to the summit of the Serie A standings.
But the former Italy international was replaced just after the half-hour mark against the Partenopei and will be out for at least 10 days, according to a statement released by the club that read:
"Francesco Totti underwent tests this morning (Monday) which identified an injury to his hamstring.
"He will be reassessed in 10 days.
"The captain has already begun his recovery program."
