Roma hope to count on Mats Hummels for the away game in Naples on Sunday 24 November.

The German centre-back, having accumulated just a handful of minutes under Juric, is poised to become one of the mainstays of the Giallorossi defense during Ranieri’s tenure.

However, the fever that has affected him in recent days casts doubt on his presence before the game at Maradona.

Hummels will return to the capital today and if he has overcome the fever, he would return to training with his teammates, writes Il Tempo.

His presence against the Partenopei is still in doubt.
