Turkish fullback Zeki Celik is expected to make full recovery for the return leg with Bayer Leverkusen.

In Roma’s most recent outing with Bologna, Zeki Celik was forced to exit the pitch early on in the second half due to an issue with his abductor muscle.

However, according to Corriere dello Sport the injury is not serious and Celik will likely be available for Thursday night as the team travels to Germany to secure their place in the Europa League final.
