The Roman idol has been recovering from a serious injury sustained last season and is continuing to make progress as he rejoins his team-mates. In fact he was called up for the friendly match in Egypt against Al-Ahly, but took no part in Roma's 3-0 victory.
At the end of training today Roma held a practice match between the ranks and Totti scored a well-taken goal against goalkeeper Arthur. He faked his shot, then dribbled and placed his right-foot finish under the crossbar. It was the Roma number 10's first goal since returning to training. He scored 14 goals in Serie A last season and is the highest active goalscorer in the league with 165 strikes to his name.
The World Cup-winning playmaker missed the end of last season through injury when his team were chasing league leaders Inter. He has struggled with injuries throughout his career and was almost forced to sit out the World Cup that Italy eventually won in 2006.
Totti's recovery has been slow and steady, but the Giallorossi captain is making great progress according to the team doctors and could be ready for the upcoming season. He is eager to feature in the Italian Super Cup against Inter on August 24th at the Meazza.
The next test of Totti's fitness may take place on August 14th when Roma will play Frosinone in a friendly match.
