Balerdi tipped to make Roma debut vs Atalanta

Roma breathed a sigh of relief after the results of Evan Ndicka's medical tests.

The verdict ruled out any muscle injuries: it's merely inflammation. He won't be sidelined for long.

The Ivorian defender's presence against Atalanta remains in doubt, however, given that the match is scheduled for Saturday at 8:45 PM, in two days' time.
