Zeki Celik hopes in last-minute call-up vs Athletic Bilbao

Zeki Celik remains doubtful ahead of Thursday night’s return leg of the Europa League Round of 16 with Athletic Bilbao.

The Turkish defender suffered a first-degree lesion to the conjoint tendon of the biceps femoris in his left thigh, an injury that forced him to miss the match against Empoli.

In the last two days he has followed a program of specific therapies in an attempt to recover in time for Roma’s Europa League fixture.

The player’s objective is to earn a call-up for the trip to San Mamés, even if his presence on the pitch remains uncertain, writes Corriere dello Sport.

If Celik is unable to train with the group today, he will also miss the match against Cagliari and will use the international break to fully recover.
