Roma have suffered another injury blow as Armenian national team captain Henrikh Mkhitaryan will be out for three weeks with a thigh problem, Football Italia reported.

Just hours after it was confirmed Lorenzo Pellegrini would be out for two months with a metatarsal fracture, Roma tweeted Mkhitaryan was facing a similar layoff.

However, the upcoming international break means he should miss no more than four games for the Giallorossi, two each in Serie A and the Europa League.

The Armenian has scored and assisted in his first four appearances for the Giallorossi since arriving from Arsenal, the source reminded.
