Radja Nainggolan has been included in Roma's 23-man squad for Saturday's Derby della Capitale against Lazio.

Coach Eusebio Di Francesco said during his press conference on Friday that he would wait until the last moment to decide whether Nainggolan is fit enough to play in the game at the Stadio Olimpico - before naming him among his group for the first derby of his Giallorossi coaching career.

Elsewhere, Patrik Schick is not part of the matchday group as he continues to work towards full fitness - but Emerson Palmieri is included after playing an hour for the Primavera on Friday afternoon.

Saturday's game gets underway at 18:00 CET.
