ROMA will make a decision on Jack Rodwell’s fitness next week.

The ex-Manchester City midfielder, 28, is training with the Italian giants with view to signing as a free agent.

But they want to assess whether the ex-Everton and Sunderland man is fit enough to play immediately and cover for injuries to Lorenzo Pellegrini and Amadou Diawara.

Roma, who are sixth in Serie A and battling in the Europa League, are also looking at former Empoli midfielder Marcel Buchel.

They are set to decide on the signings early next week after the pair have completed more training sessions to prove their fitness.
