Totti set for Roma comeback against Udinese

AS Roma captain Francesco Totti is injured during their Champions League Group F match against Sporting Lisbon in Rome, October 2007. Totti could be set to make his comeback from injury in Sunday´s crucial early title clash against Udinese.

      ROME (AFP) - Roma talisman Francesco Totti could be set to make his comeback from injury in Sunday's crucial early title clash against Udinese, according to ANSA on Saturday.

      Totti missed the midweek 4-1 Champions League win at Dynamo Kiev, which secured the Romans' passage into the knock-out stages, but he has been included in the squad for the visit of Udinese.

      He has been nursing a foot injury picked up two and a half weeks ago, although in his absence, Montenegro forward Mairko Vucinic has excelled.

      Vucinic scored twice in that victory in Kiev and the big debate surrounding Roma is how coach Luciano Spalletti will include both forwards in his side once Totti has made a full recovery - Spalletti favours a formation with a lone striker.

      Roma also welcome back right-back Cristian Panucci and Brazilian midfielder Taddei to the squad but Simone Perrotta misses out again.

      Udinese have been the big surprise package in Italy this season and a win in Rome could even see them join Inter Milan at the top of the table, provided the champions lose in Fiorentina on Sunday.

      Inter top the table on 28 points with Juventus, who were due to play at AC Milan later Saturday, Roma and Usinese all level on 25 points and Fiorentina on 24 points.
