ROME (AP) Roma will be without forwards Francesco Totti and Edin Dzeko for up to four weeks after both were injured during Saturday's 5-1 drubbing of Carpi.

Midfielder Seydou Keita is expected to be sidelined for around two weeks after injuring his right thigh during the same match.

Roma says Dzeko has a right knee injury and will be out for ''three to four weeks'' while Totti and Keita will be re-evaluated in 10 days.

Totti replaced Dzeko at halftime in Saturday's match but only lasted six minutes, getting injured while setting up Mohamed Salah's goal.
