Roma fans can rest after the club confirmed that defender Dodo will not need surgery following a knee injury.
The Brazilian youngster came off during the Giallorossi’s friendly against Orlando City last Friday, with an initial diagnosis suggesting that the 22-year-old could be out for six months with ligament damage.
However, in a statement this afternoon, the capital outfit have revealed that the full-back will be assessed again in 10 days, but is unlikely to go under the knife.
