Vermaelen: "I'm working hard to return. I'm happy at Roma"
Belgian defender Thomas Vermaelen has used Instagram to quash speculation that he may be on his way out of Roma in January. The 30-year-old underwent a hernia operation in September and is working his way back into contention for a first-team place and he stated via the social media platform that; "I'm working hard to recover and hope to be back in the quickest time possible. Two months ago was my presentation and things obviously haven't gone as I would have hoped but I'm happy here being part of this club".
