If only Daniele De Rossi's calves were as strong as his loyalty to AS Roma.
On Friday, Roma announced that De Rossi will be out for "about four weeks" due to a calf strain, as the Italian midfielder suffered a Grade-1 lesion to the soleus muscle in his left leg.
De Rossi, 32, has tallied one goal and one assist while starting in 18 of Roma's Serie A fixtures this season. He also ranks 10th in the league in pass success percentage at 88.4 percent.
