Leon Bailey`s introduction to Roma fans has been postponed yet again as the winger continues to struggle with an injury sustained during his first training session with the club. The Jamaican international, who joined from Aston Villa to boost Roma`s attacking options, has yet to make his debut nearly two months after signing.
Initially expected to be sidelined for 30-40 days, Bailey`s recovery has progressed more slowly than anticipated. Medical staff are taking a cautious approach to his rehabilitation, prioritizing a full recovery over a rushed return.
Revised Return Timeline
According to reports from Il Corriere dello Sport, Bailey will not feature in Roma`s upcoming match against Fiorentina. His return is now projected for after the international break, potentially between Roma`s fixtures against Inter and subsequent matches with Sassuolo and Parma in late October.
The prolonged absence of their summer signing has caused some unease within the club. Roma supporters are eager to see Bailey in action, hoping his pace and creativity will provide a boost to the team`s offensive capabilities.
While the exact details of Bailey`s condition remain unclear, the club is focused on ensuring he returns to full fitness before making his Serie A debut. This cautious approach, while frustrating in the short term, aims to prevent any setbacks that could further delay his integration into the squad.
