Roma fans may have reason to celebrate as Sky Sport Italia reports that defender Chris Smalling is edging closer to a return to action, potentially featuring in the upcoming match against Inter Milan.
The English centre-back has been sidelined since September due to recurring tendon issues, limiting him to just three appearances for the Giallorossi this season. However, recent developments suggest that Smalling could soon make his comeback.
Roma coach De Rossi provided encouraging updates over the weekend, indicating that Smalling has been gradually increasing his workload in training. This progression has raised hopes of his availability for either the Serie A fixture against Inter or the Europa League encounter against Feyenoord in the knock-out playoff.
According to reports from Trigoria, Smalling has displayed positive signs during training sessions, further boosting Roma’s confidence in his imminent return. If all goes as planned, the defender could make a significant contribution against Inter at the Stadio Olimpico.
