Roma doctor Paolo Mariani has given new signing Ahmed Barusso the all-clear.

The former Rimini midfielder broke his leg last season, but came through his Roma medical with flying colours.

Mariani said: "After the first orthopaedic examination, he is a healthy athlete. Roma asked me to verify his condition. As for the athletic and muscular situation, that was looked at by other specialists and I heard there was a positive response.

"There were concerns that the fracture of the tibia and fibula had also created lesions in the tendons, but all doubts on this matter were swept away by the tests."
