The Seire A side knew about the right-back's injury before he joined from Feyenoord and expect him to be fit for the new campaign
Rick Karsdorp is to undergo knee surgery five days after completing a €19 million move from Feyenoord to Roma.
The Netherlands international is expected to recover from the operation in time for the new Serie A season, having penned a five-year deal at the club on Wednesday.
Roma team doctor Riccardo Del Vescovo explained Karsdorp's medical uncovered the problem and the 22-year-old will go under the knife on Monday.
"We're doing this because we want to take a closer look at his lateral meniscus after his medical – which was conducted in tandem with Dr Andrea Causarano – revealed findings that called for further investigation," Del Vescovo told Roma Radio.
