"He will undergo further tests in around seven days."

Totti is expected to miss three more league games but could recover in time to play at AC Milan on December 16.

Roma, who lead the Serie A standings with a one-point advantage over Juventus, are unbeaten this season and take on Cagliari on Sunday.
