Cicinho

Roma right-back Cicinho is not considering leaving the Lupi to return to Brazilian side Sao Paulo, according to his agent Riccardo Sarti.

Sao Paulo director of sport Joao Paolo de Jesus Lopez revealed this week that the club would welcome back Cicinho with open arms.

But Sarti says the ex-Real Madrid man is only focused on rekindling his career at the Giallorosso after undergoing knee surgery last March.

“We appreciate their interest, as it means that Cicinho has left a good impression of himself,” the representative told AsRomaLive.com.

“But the player is not suffering from saudade. He is recovering and played precious minutes against Udinese.

“It’s not true that Cicinho is disappointed. He is coming off an injury and it’s normal that he needs a running-in period.

“And I hope that he will be able to give his contribution to the team against Bologna.”

Roma welcome Bologna to the Olimpico this afternoon hoping to return to winning ways after three straight defeats in Serie A.
