According to the Corriere dello Sport and Sky Sport Italia , it means Mancini is expected to be out of action for two to three weeks.
It would rule him out of the games against Pisa on April 10, Atalanta on April 18 and possibly also the trip to Bologna on April 25.
This is a further blow for the Giallorossi, who were already missing Wesley, Manu Koné, Paulo Dybala, Artem Dovbyk and Evan Ferguson.

What happened
Gianluca Mancini suffered a right adductor lesion during Roma's 5-2 defeat to Inter after starting the match and scoring before going off at half-time. Italian media reports say the defender is expected to miss two to three weeks. That timeline would likely rule him out against Pisa and Atalanta, with the Bologna trip also in doubt. Roma are already dealing with several other absences, so the loss further strains their squad during a key stretch in the race for Champions League qualification.
Chance analysis
Mancini is an important starting defender, so his absence weakens Roma's defensive stability and leadership at the back. With Roma already carrying multiple injuries, this increases rotation pressure and may raise variance in both defensive performance and overall team balance over the next few matches.
Roma's short-term defensive outlook worsens as a key starter is set to miss multiple Serie A matches.
Treat this as a meaningful negative defensive availability signal for Roma in the next 2-3 weeks, especially given their existing injury load.
