Roma coach Claudio Ranieri is monitoring Mirko Vucinic closely after the striker abandoned Friday's training session with a problem to his left knee.

Sky Sport Italia claim the Montenegrin was forced to leave the Trigoria pitch after feeling pain in his knee during a mini match. As a precaution, the medical staff decided it was best for Vucinic to stop.

Rain in Rome has made for a slippery surface at the training ground, and so he stopped in an attempt not to risk further problems.

Despite the scare, the feeling is that he should be ready for the trip to Livorno on Sunday.

Francesco Totti is still seeing to his knee problem, but should be available for the Inter game in two weeks.

The rest of the squad trained normally, with Julio Baptista taking part in shooting exercises.
