Evan Ferguson will miss Roma’s Coppa Italia clash against Torino due to the back injury that forced him out of Saturday’s Serie A win over Sassulo.

Manager Gian Piero Gasperini afterwards detailed the knock as a ‘serious bruise’ but the recovery time for the on-loan Irish striker isn’t considered long-term.
