The German defender doesn’t seem to be in doubt for the Saturday’s match against Lecce.
Mats Hummels, who was the best player on the field for Roma against Atalanta yesterday, can breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, German had to be substituted at the 74th minute yesterday after receiving a nasty blow to the back. From the initial examinations conducted this morning, it appears that there is only the presence of a slight contraction in the back muscles. A two-day rest should be sufficient, and therefore, Hummels should be available against Lecce. This is also when Hermoso is expected to return. In serious doubt, however, is Cristante who is currently undergoing ankle tests following the sprain he suffered yesterday.
