Inter captain Mauro Icardi could recover from injury in time to make the squad for Saturday’s Roma clash, say reports.
The striker picked up a knee ligament injury against Bologna last weekend, with an initial diagnosis raising fears that he could face as much as a month on the sidelines.
However, Gazzetta dello Sport has reported today that the Argentine has made a remarkable recovery and was undergoing high intensity training on the pitch yesterday.

The club will carefully monitor Icardi’s condition and are unlikely to take any risks with rushing him back too early, but there is growing hope that he could at least take a spot on the bench at the Stadio Olimpico.
Saturday’s match is crucial for the Nerazzurri’s season, as defeat would leave them nine points adrift of the Giallorossi in the third and final Champions League spot.
