Roma need to patch up the relationship between the coach and the striker, who has been excluded from the squad since the 4-2 defeat to Spezia in the Coppa Italia.

Director Tiago Pinto will be at the meeting in search for the common good, but Fonseca reiterated his strong stance after the 3-1 win against Hellas Verona.

But Dzeko has acted interested and professional during the turbulent week. The 34-year-old presented himself twice in a row at the Olimpico.

The veteran smiled and gave the cameras a picture of a man who still feels like a captain and will continue to behave as such.

Il Corriere dello Sport reports the striker had spoken to former teammate Nikola Kalinic on Sunday and had said the break with Roma was not irreparable and played down the drama.
