Roma coach Garcia won't rush Strootman's return

AS Roma boss Rudi Garcia won't rush Kevin Strootman's playing return.

The Dutchman is back in training after recovering from a cruciate ligament injury.

"We're slowly doing everything we can do get the injured players back," Garcia said.

"We still have the players to be competitive in the League.

"Kevin is recovering well physically, he started playing in training matches this week.

"He has to regain his confidence after a major injury, he still doesn't change direction.

"I think that when he can do that with the ball is when there will be a major injection of confidence in his recovery."
