Despite fears he would be absent, Edin Dzeko is in Roma’s squad to face Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday.
Reports in the morning claimed Dzeko’s relationship with Roma had broken down, amidst Inter, Monaco and even Napoli speculation.
However, the striker has been called up for the Giallorossi’s friendly against Athletic, which kicks off at 19:00 BST this evening.
Elsewhere, Patrik Schick is out of the squad with a knock but Gregoire Defrel is included as his proposed switch to Cagliari remains up in the air.
