Original Article from Friday, Oct. 24

Roma midfielder Kevin Strootman is edging closer to a return as he works toward full fitness after an ACL injury suffered back in March.

Giallorossi manager Rudi Garcia still wasn't ready to put a definitive timetable on the star's first game back in the starting lineup. He did provide a brief update on his status:

The injury forced Strootman to miss the Netherlands' World Cup run. Now, he's trying to make a comeback to help Roma keep pace with Juventus atop the Serie A table. The sides are separated by just one point through seven matches.

He was enjoying an outstanding campaign before going down with the injury last spring. Roma won't rush him back until he feels completely confident in his knee, but he'll undoubtedly provide a boost once that moment does arrive.
