Roma team doctor Mario Brozzi believes Francesco Totti will recover in time for the club's first Champions League match...
The Roma captain has struggled with an ankle injury since before the 2006 World Cup and missed a large portion of last season through injury. Unfortunately, Totti's season has started the way his last ended, as he was ruled out of the Giallorossi's Serie A opener with Napoli at the Stadio Olimpico.
The World Cup winner will not take part in next weekend's matchup with Palermo either, but team doctor Mario Brozzi assured that the Roma talisman will be back soon enough.
"Totti is still sore," explained the physician to Radio Incontro. "In all likelihood he will return on to the field in the Champions League against Cluj on September 16."
Roma fans will be hoping that their captain makes the date as the team seems to be having trouble finding the net once again and had plenty of problems against a 10-man Napoli side last Sunday.
Brozzi also had news on some other Roma players that are currently recovering:
"(Rodrigo) Taddei will train again on Monday with his team-mates. (Jeremy) Menez? He must regain muscle form and physical fitness before he can re-enter the pitch."
Roma coach Luciano Spaletti has constantly stated the importance of Totti to his offence and that he will need his full squad at his disposal if Roma are to challenge for Serie A and the Champions League this season.
