Roma striker Baptista set for early return

The Brazilian ace will miss the clash with Inter due to an injury.

“Julio is looking to get back on the pitch as quickly as possible,” Baptista’s agent Herminio Menendez told Laromasiamonoi.it.

“I don’t know exactly when he will return but we will know more later this week.

“Julio is currently in Brazil to receive treatment but he is working hard and could reduce his recovery time as a result.

“He’s doing his best to repair the damage ahead of schedule so that he can help his side.”
