Roma's Aquilani anxiety
Thursday 12 February, 2009

Roma midfielder Alberto Aquilani is struggling with a knee injury and may miss this weekend's trip to Atalanta.

The homegrown talent was a substitute for Italy against Brazil and come on to replace teammate Daniele De Rossi during the second half.

And according to the Corriere dello Sport, Aquilani had to pull out halfway through this morning's Roma training session at Trigoria.

The problem isn't thought to be serious but the Giallorossi medical team will perform tests to ascertain the extent of the damage.

It's worrying news for Coach Luciano Spalletti, who already has doubts over the fitness of De Rossi and a huge list of absentees, including Philippe Mexes, John Arne Riise, Jeremy Menez and Marco Cassetti.

Matteo Brighi is on standby and may look to continue his positive season at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia.
