Roma are expected to send Davide Zappacosta back to Chelsea following a disappointing loan spell.

The 28-year-old right-back struggled with injury and managed just seven Serie A appearances throughout the season, contributing one assist.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the emergence of Bruno Peres since the lockdown pushed Zappacosta even further down the pecking order at the Stadio Olimpico.

Zappacosta’s loan had initially been only until January, but it was extended for another six months, plus the remnants of the post-COVID campaign.
