Serie A, Italy''s top professional football league, has been plagued by a series of injuries and suspensions in recent weeks. The latest casualty is Roma''s star midfielder, Jordan Veretout.
Veretout suffered a severe ankle injury during Roma''s match against Inter Milan last weekend, which left him writhing in agony on the pitch. The 27-year-old has been ruled out for at least six weeks, dealing a significant blow to Roma''s title aspirations.
Another notable absentee is AC Milan''s Alessio Romagnoli, who was sent off during his side''s match against Napoli after receiving a second yellow card for dissent. Romagnoli will serve a one-match suspension, which means he will miss Milan''s upcoming fixture against Udinese.
Bologna''s midfielder, Mattias Svanberg, has also been sidelined with a hamstring injury that is expected to keep him out for three to four weeks. The 24-year-old had been in excellent form before the injury, scoring two goals and providing an assist in his last five appearances.

Serie A''s injury and suspension woes are not limited to just these teams, however. Other notable absentees include Napoli''s Lorenzo Insigne, who suffered a serious knee injury that will keep him out for the rest of the season, and Sassuolo''s Francesco Caputo, who has been ruled out for at least two weeks with a muscle strain.
Despite these setbacks, Serie A remains one of the most competitive and exciting leagues in world football. With the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and Moise Kean still going strong, there is no shortage of talent on display. As the league continues to navigate its latest injury and suspension crisis, fans can rest assured that the action will continue to be fast-paced and thrilling.
