Rodwell set for Roma medical

By Football Italia staff

Free agent Jack Rodwell is flying in for his Roma medical and to sign a contract tomorrow, claim Sky Sport Italia.

The former Blackburn midfielder is expected in Rome for tests at the Villa Stuart clinic on Friday.

If he is passed fit to play within days, then he can sign a contract to the end of the season.

According to the Corriere dello Sport, Rodwell is already in the city and was in the stands of the Stadio Olimpico to watch a 1-1 draw with Borussia Monchengladbach this evening.

The Giallorossi have a huge injury crisis, ruling out Bryan Cristante, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Nikola Kalinic, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Cengiz Under, Amadou Diawara and Davide Zappacosta.

They were so short on midfielders in today’s 1-1 Europa League draw with Borussia Monchengladbach that centre-back Gianluca Mancini had to be moved up.
