Celik fully recovers for Roma-Athletic | OneFootball

Zeki Celik will be available for tomorrow’s highly anticipated showdown with Athletic Club Bilbao.

The Turkish defender, who had complained of adductor discomfort during the match against Como, underwent instrumental tests that ruled out injuries.

A positive result that allows the former Lille player to be available to Claudio Ranieri for tomorrow’s match against Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League.

It will be either him or Hummels in Roma’s backline tomorrow, writes Il Tempo.

The German defender, except for the match against Monza in which he played the full 90 minutes, seems to have lost space in Ranieri’s choices.

On the other hand, Celik has been able to carve out an increasingly central role, ensuring defensive solidity and also contributing in the offensive phase.

In recent matches, the Turkish full-back has stood out with high-level performances, scoring a goal in the first leg of the Europa League playoffs against Porto and providing a decisive assist to Saelemaekers in the last league match against Como.
