And breathe, Roma.
The knee injury suffered by midfielder Kevin Strootman is not a cause for concern, manager Rudi Garcia told reporters after Sunday's 1-1 draw against Fiorentina.
The Dutchman, 24, had to be taken off after just 34 minutes at the Stadio Artemio Franchi, as an early challenge left him favoring his knee.
In most cases this would be of minimal concern, but since the midfielder is still finding his feet after recovering from a torn ACL that cost him the World Cup and the beginning of the season, any issue pertaining to his knee is sure to leave Roma supporters a tad anxious.
