Portuguese midfielder Renato Sanches is yet to receive the green light to feature in Sunday’s Serie A affair with Empoli.
Sanches has been out for over three weeks after suffering a muscle injury in training.
His condition has improved in recent days, but the midfielder is still deemed doubtful for Sunday’s showdown at Stadio Olimpico, informs la Repubblica.
Roma do not wish to rush him and consider prioritizing his long-term physical levels with as much caution as possible given his extensive injury track record.
