Roma youth team coach Alberto De Rossi had three “fantastic” weeks working with Kevin Strootman.
The midfielder is looking to work his way back to fitness, after missing most of the past two seasons with a series of knee problems.
Strootman played his first match since last season in today’s Primavera game against Avellino, scoring a penalty before going off at half-time.

“The past few weeks with Strootman have been fantastic,” De Rossi told Roma TV.
“We got to know a formidable professional and person. He has the enthusiasm of a young boy, but the dedication of a great professional.
“He really wants to play, but the lad’s been through a lot. We’re happy to give him a hand and get him back to normal.”
