Roma’s director general Mauro Baldissoni refuses to rule out more surgery for Kevin Strootman but insists ‘it’s not an emergency’.
It was reported today that the Dutch midfielder will have a third surgery on a troubling knee injury, having played just six times in Serie A last season.
“Strootman’s injury doesn’t change our transfer strategy,” Baldissoni said at a Press conference to officially unveil Norbert Gyomber.

It was reported today that the Dutch midfielder will have a third surgery on a troubling knee injury, having played just six times in Serie A last season.
“Strootman’s injury doesn’t change our transfer strategy,” Baldissoni said at a Press conference to officially unveil Norbert Gyomber.
“We don’t consider it an emergency. Nothing has changed for us. If it takes more time or less time, we hope to have him back stronger than ever.
“A new surgery? We won’t comment on any Strootman news, as it’s a very sensitive issue. When we've found a solution we'll tell you."
The Giallorossi Ultras will enact a silent protest for the visit of Juventus on Sunday, in protest at new segregation and security measures in the Curva Sud.
“Safety initiatives are incurred and executed for us, and the same goes for Lazio. We’ve done everything possible to make things easier for the fans, giving them the opportunity to get a season ticket without a supporter’s card, and to get back to going to away games.
“[President James] Pallotta is planning a great stadium, a modern and innovative project which will take the needs of the fans into account.
“There will be a Curva Sud, which will keep the name, and a ‘Club Curva Sud’ for those who sit there.
“People who come to the stadium should cheer, it’s fundamental to the concept of being a fan that you cheer.
“Doing a silent protest is a contradiction of their role, especially in a crucial match against a team which has been our rival for the past few years.”
