Chris Smalling is expected to be back in action for Roma on Thursday night.

The Englishman is coming off a lengthy injury period after suffering from chronic tendinitis which forced him to miss over a month of action – his last game dates back to Roma’s defeat with Milan.

According to Sky Sport, however, Jose Mourinho is ready to include him in the team’s squad list for Thursday when the Giallorossi will face Slavia Praha in the Europa League group.

Smalling will likely take his place on the bench with Diego Llorente ready to start.
