TOTTI AIMING FOR CLUJ COMEBACK
Totti - fitness battle.
Roma captain Francesco Totti is facing a battle to be fit for his side's opening Champions League clash against Romanian side Cluj on September 16.
The 31-year-old sustained an ankle injury in last month's Supercoppa final against Internazionale and subsequently missed the first Serie A game against Napoli.
The former Italy international will miss this weekend's league match at Palermo but has a chance of playing the following Tuesday.
"Totti still feels pain in his ankle," said Roma doctor Mario Brozzi. "The strong likelihood is that he will return to play only on Tuesday, September 16 for the Champions League clash against Cluj."
Meanwhile, winger Rodrigo Taddei has shaken off a minor knock and will return to play at La Favorita this weekend.
