Daniele De Rossi has avoided a calf tear after Roma revealed tests had cleared the veteran of serious injury.
The Italian midfielder was hurt in Roma's 1-0 loss to defending Serie A champions and league leaders Juventus last week, amid fears of an extended injury lay-off.
However, Roma have allayed fears somewhat by releasing a statement on Tuesday clearing the 33-year-old of a muscle tear.
De Rossi's fitness will be further assessed on Wednesday.
