AS Roma midfielder Daniele de Rossi is major doubt for Sunday's Rome derby after fracturing his wrist during training on Thursday.

The Italy international was expected to be the heartbeat of Luciano Spalletti's midfield for the high-profile meeting with bitter rivals Lazio.

"I don't know if I will make the derby but I think I will," he is quoted as saying.

Meanwhile, Spalletti must cope without two more players as he looks to secure a morale-boosting victory for his struggling side.

Alberto Aquilani will be absent with a thigh muscle problem, while David Pizarro is suspended.
