MILAN (Reuters) - AS Roma's Dutch midfielder Kevin Strootman faces another long layoff after a new injury to his left knee turned out to be worse than expected.

Strootman has only played six league games since returning to action in November after suffering ligament damage which sidelined him for eight months and forced him to miss the World Cup.
