October 17th According to "Corriere dello Sport" reports, Roma winger Leon Bailey has begun to resume training and is expected to return in the Serie A match against Inter Milan.

Roma loaned out Jamaican winger Leon Bailey from Villa during this summer's transfer period, but the player suffered an injury to the rectus femoris tendon in his right leg during his first training session in Roma. It was initially expected that Leon Bailey would miss a month because of this, but his recovery was slower than expected. Now nearly two months have passed, and Leon Bailey still has not played for Roma. Roma is very cautious about Leon Bailey's injury and does not want him to rush back and increase the risk of recurrence of the injury.

"Corriere dello Sport" pointed out that Roma coach Gasperini is very optimistic about the joining of Leon Bailey. He has previously said: "If Leon Bailey, Dybala, and Pellegrini all reach 100%, the strength of our lineup will be greatly improved."

Leli Ang Bailey's characteristics meet Gasperini's requirements for wingers. Although his talent and skills may not be as good as Dybala and Pellegrini, and his shooting ability is not as good as Shaarawy and Sule, among all the current offensive players in the Roma team, he has the best physical fitness and excellent sprinting and running abilities. In the 2023-24 Premier League season, Leon Bailey scored 10 goals and assisted 9 times for Villa. Roma hopes that he can return to his best form.

During Roma’s training this week, Leon Bailey had already participated in some team training and his physical condition seemed to be recovering well. "Corriere dello Sport" believes that Leon Bailey may be on the bench in Roma's home game against Inter Milan in the Serie A this weekend and have the opportunity to make his Roma debut as a substitute. In the Europa League match next week, Roma will face Plzen Victory at home, and Leon Bailey is expected to get a starting opportunity.

Roma will play 7 games in 22 days. Coach Gasperini will make necessary rotations, and players including Leon Bailey will get opportunities to play. During the previous injury recovery period, Leon Bailey conducted a lot of physical training, so he had enough physical fitness to cope with subsequent games, and gradually integrated into the Roma lineup through actual combat.
