Mexes set for return

Roma defender Phillipe Mexes is expected to be fit for Sunday's Rome derby, having left the pitch injured in his club's last match on the weekend.
The Frenchman hobbled off just after half-time against Bologna on Saturday, but was able to train with the Stadio Olimpico outfit without problems on Tuesday, the ANSA news agency reported.
It is a boost to Roma's backline that has suffered from a lack of continuity in its pairings and contributed to them currently sitting one place and one point above the relegation zone.
Also likely to be back in action by the weekend is goalkeeper Doni, who was stretchered from the field in the second half against Bologna after banging his head.
