Roma midfielder Kevin Strootman is confident in his knee – “now when I go onto the pitch I feel free”.
The Dutch international missed the best part of two seasons with a series of knee troubles, but has played every Serie A game so far this term.
“I have to pay attention to my knee, but I’m confident,” Strootman explained to Algemeen Dagblad.
“Now when I go onto the pitch I feel free in the head and more in the game, the knee is stronger and there’s confidence that things will continue to go well.

“In the Netherlands the players who aren’t playing are monitored, but it’s not like that in Italy, if you don’t play you have to make sure you’re in shape and that you impress the Coach.
“It’s useful to have a mental Coach to be ready when the time comes.”
