Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi may be wishing he never played against Inter over a week ago. He has needed to have facial reconstruction surgery after a Patrick Vieira elbow, and laser stone surgery for a colic renal problem.

But the club has released a statement saying that the 26-year-old may not need to under the knife again, after being silent on the issue since Thursday, according to Datasport.

"Contrary to reports," the statement on the website said. "There is no medical condition requiring surgical correction.

"The player will therefore be discharged from hospital as soon as we see signs of improvement."

De Rossi is still expected to miss matches against Bari and Atalanta, as he recovers from facial surgery.
