The injury crisis is starting to calm down for Roma, as Gianluca Mancini, Manu Koné and Mats Hummels are available against Parma.

It kicks off at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday at 11.30 GMT.

The Giallorossi have been struggling with fitness problems throughout the campaign, which often limited their squad rotation options.

Coach Claudio Ranieri was able to breathe a sigh of relief, because he announced that defenders Mancini and Hummels are back in the squad, along with midfielder Koné.

The only player still on the treatment table is therefore Bryan Cristante, who sprained his ankle.

Leandro Paredes is also available again after recovering from flu symptoms, which also affected Hummels.

Roma suffered a 2-0 Serie A defeat away to Como last weekend, but boosted their confidence with the midweek Coppa Italia 4-0 victory over Sampdoria.
