Roma pair Francesco Totti and Daniele De Rossi are getting ready to start training once more after suffering from injury problems.

According to Il Corriere Dello Sport, both players are expected to return to Trigoria. Moreover, they could make the weekend clash against Bari.

De Rossi should be discharged from the Gemelli Hospital in Rome on Tuesday after suffering from renal colic.

It is unknown whether the midfielder will make the grade for the weekend. He has been told to drink around three litres of water a day to help alleviate his problems and speed up his recovery.

Totti, on the other hand, has been absent for 40 days, but he will rejoin the squad and train with them on Tuesday afternoon. His personal trainer, Vito Scala, reviewed the captain's situation, and the signs are positive.

"The situation is good," Scala stated. "Francesco is always getting better. We are hoping to see him on the pitch for the game against Bari."
