Roma coach Luciano Spalletti has confirmed the midfielder will be back and is ready to make his first appearance in almost 13 months.
Kevin Strootman will make his long-awaited return to Roma's matchday squad against Palermo on Sunday, coach Luciano Spalletti has confirmed.
The Netherlands international midfielder has undergone a lengthy rehabilitation from cruciate knee ligament surgery and last played a Serie A game against Fiorentina at the Stadio Artemio Franchi over a year ago.
"Strootman will be back in the squad with us as of tomorrow," Spalletti said at his press conference.
