Roma midfielder Alessandro Florenzi is in line for a playing comeback against Hellas Verona today.

Florenzi has overcome two rounds of knee surgery.

“It's a rebirth, starting almost entirely from zero," Florenzi told Sky Italia.

“It will be emotional to play my first official match for Roma, having played against Chapecoense and having done so many training sessions.

“It's a match where we have to take three points to move the table, we absolutely have to do it.

“We need to improve in everything, and we're starting to get a good idea of what the boss wants us to do.

“He has a desire to improve, an attacking game and from the first day he's tried to put what he did with Sassuolo out there on the pitch.

“He's told us that it takes time, and we hope we'll get there soon because you don't get much time at Roma.

“Are Juventus, Napoli and Roma the Scudetto favourites? There's also Inter and Milan. They've strengthened, Inter are only playing the league and they have a great Coach [Luciano Spalletti] who did well here and will do well at Inter."
