Roma, Manolas could miss the derby: the latest on his injury recovery

Kostas Manolas' injury concerns could be lessening for Roma. The injury to the center back is potentially much less serious than expected. The initial prognosis had been a worry for Di Francesco's staff, but as reported by Sky Sport, the injury is thought to simply be a mild right knee strain.

On Sunday morning, Manolas will be examined to determine the timetable for his return. The goal is to bring Manolas back as soon as possible: the plan could be for him to miss the derby with Lazio next Saturday and be able to return for the Champions League return leg at Porto on March 6th.
