AS Roma’s challenge for a top four Serie A finish and Champions League football has been hit after goalkeeper Doni was ruled out for three months with a knee injury.

Roma released a statement claiming the Brazilian needs an operation on the cartilage in his right knee, a process that usually requires three months of recuperation.

Roma currently sit sixth in Serie A, six points behind fourth-placed Fiorentina, who thrashed them 4-1 last weekend, with just five matches remaining.
