Football: Totti doubtful for Rome derby

ROME: Roma idol and captain Francesco Totti is doubtful for Sunday’s derby against Lazio with an injured right thigh. Totti worked out alone in the gym and in the swimming pool at Roma’s Trigoria base instead of training with the rest of his teammates and is set to undergo tests today. The 35-year-old scored both goals in a 2-0 Roma win in the last derby on March 13. Meanwhile, young Argentine Erik Lamela, signed from River Plate in the summer, is standing by to take his place if required.
