Serie A: Roma draw 0-0 at Chievo, Mattiello breaks his leg

Milan: Roma were held to a 0-0 draw on Sunday at Chievo Verona as the capital side's title hopes took another blow in a Serie A match which was marked by horrific injury to youngster Federico Mattiello.

The 19-year-old Mattiello, who is on loan at Chievo from Juventus, was stretchered off in tears after breaking his leg in a clash with Radja Nainggolan.

It was Roma's eighth draw in nine league matches and left it eight points behind Juventus, which hosts Sassuolo on Monday.

Third-place Napoli has the chance to close the gap on Roma to two points when it hosts Inter Milan later.

Elsewhere, crisis-hit Parma played again after postponing two matches, drawing 0-0 against Atalanta.
