Alberto De Rossi lauds 'consummate professional' Strootman

Roma Primavera boss Alberto De Rossi has offered words of high praise for Kevin Strootman, emphasising the Dutchman's commitment and professionalism in training as he works his way back to full fitness



“Strootman is a consummate professional,” De Rossi declared in an interview ahead of his U19 side's match against Napoli.

“He trains with the enthusiasm of a kid just starting out in the game. His attitude is exemplary and it's extremely motivating for the rest of the lads.”

The 25-year-old midfielder, who underwent ACL revision surgery on his left knee on 1 September 2015, has been training with the Primavera squad in recent weeks as he approaches the final stages of his recovery programme.
