Roma's Daniele De Rossi, Ashley Cole both dealing with minor fractures

Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi has a micro-fracture in a vertebra, while defender Ashely Cole has a broken hand, the club announced on Thursday.

Despite the back injury, De Rossi will train on his own for the next few days in an attempt to play against Torino on Sunday.

Cole will be able to play while wearing a brace on his right hand after he was found to have fractured his fifth metacarpal bone.

Roma are in second in Serie A, one point ahead of Lazio with nine games to play.
