Roma are 24 hours away from facing their city rivals, Lazio, in the highly anticipated Derby of the Coppa Italia quarterfinals.

Earlier today, Roma regrouped for their last training session before the Derby.

Spanish defender Diego Llorente was involved in today’s training session after sustaining an injury in the match against Atalanta.

According to Filippo Biafora of Il Tempo, Llorente underwent medical tests which did not reveal any damage to the abductor muscle.

The centre-back is still doubtful for tomorrow but likely to be called up by Jose Mouriho. In his place, Dean Huijsen could make his first start for the Giallorossi tomorrow.
