Wrist relief for De Rossi
Thursday 13 November, 2008

Roma ace Daniele De Rossi can breathe a sigh of relief as scans have shown he didn't fracture his wrist in training.

This Sunday evening, struggling Roma face buoyant Lazio in a crucial Rome derby at the Stadio Olimpico.

It's a crucial game for Luciano Spalletti, who is under pressure after a terrible start to the Serie A season.

It seemed earlier today that the Tuscan tactician would have to do without key midfielder De Rossi after he picked up a wrist injury in training.

Initial reports suggested that De Rossi had fractured his wrist, but it has now been confirmed that the injury isn't that serious.

It now looks likely that the Azzurri star will be selected in the squad to face Lazio, but he will have to strap up his wrist to prevent aggravating the problem.
