'Leon Bailey sustained a suspected myotendinous injury of the right rectus femoris at the end of a training session on Wednesday, August 20,' Roma said.
'The player will undergo further diagnostic tests to determine the exact extent of the injury in the coming hours.
'Bailey has already begun rehabilitation treatment at the Fulvio Bernardini training centre.'
Bailey expected to miss Serie A Round 1 and 2

It is still unclear how long Bailey will be forced out of action for, but according to several Italian sources, including Calciomercato.com, it is unlikely that the Jamaica international will be available for the first two games of the season.
Roma will make their 2025-26 Serie A debut on August 23 against Bologna, while the second league game is away at Pisa on August 30.
Roma have also signed Evan Ferguson to strengthen their attack this summer and remain in talks with Manchester United for Jadon Sancho.

Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman returns to injured list with oblique strain
BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles have placed catcher Adley Rutschman on the 10-day injured list with a strained right oblique. The move, made Thursday and retroactive to Aug 18, comes less than a month after Rutschman returned from the IL after being out for five weeks with a left oblique strain. Now in his fourth season since being selected with the top pick in the 2019 draft, Rutschman is batting .227 with nine homers and 29 RBIs in 85 games. Rookie Samuel Basallo will step into the starting lineup, interim manager Tony Mansolino said. The 21-year-old Basallo made his major league debut Sunday after being promoted from Triple-A Norfolk. Basallo drove in the go-ahead run in the 11th inning of Tuesday's game in Boston and is one of the only players in Orioles history to drive in at least one run in each of his first three games. ___ AP MLB:
