Roma defender Chris Smalling remains questionable ahead of tomorrow’s Serie A affair with Cagliari.

The English defender has been sidelined for the past few weeks with a chronic tendon injury for over a month.

His last appearance for the Giallorossi dates back to the defeat with Milan.

Now, Il Tempo reports that Smalling is nearing a return to the pitch and could be on the match on Sunday evening.

First, however, he will have to undergo some fitness tests to assess his condition before being allowed into the team’s dressing room tomorrow.
