Roma left back Federico Balzaretti has stated that his injured pubis is still severe meaning there is no timetable for his return.

The 32 year old sustained an injury last year against Sassuolo that has kept him out for more than 10 months and it appears as though he is set to remain on the sidelines for quite some time.

“We found this problem to be pubic synthesis, where there should be cartilage that now no longer exists,” he stated at a press conference.

“Unfortunately, this problem will not let me run and only do things minimally.

“Unfortunately I still have months of therapy. We do not know yet how many exactly.

“I’ll give it my all, I want to heal, I’m still a player and will try to heal. It’s a promise I made to everyone.”

Since his time with the Giallorossi the defender has featured in 38 games and scored a goal, which was in a derby against city rivals Lazio.
