Roma are expected to recover two key players for the upcoming first leg of the Europa League semifinals.

In their highly anticipated showdown with Bayer Leverkusen, Roma will be able to rely on Romelu Lukaku and Chris Smalling.

Both players recently resumed group training and are said to be available for Thursday night’s fixture.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Daniele De Rossi does not want to take any chances and wishes to rely on his most experienced players.

Thus, both Lukaku and Smalling are expected to feature in De Rossi’s starting line-up versus Bayer.
