(ANSA) - Rome, November 21 - AS Roma coach Rudi Garcia said Friday that he was confident Brazilian defender Leandro Castán will make a full recovery after brain surgery.
    The Roman club, currently second in Serie A and three points behind leaders Juventus, said Thursday that the 28-year-old needed surgery on a cavernoma - a cluster of abnormal blood vessels that puts pressure on the brain.
    Castán, who has made two appearances for Brazil, has not played since a 1-0 win at Empoli in September, when he was substituted after complaining of dizziness.
    "We're all with Leo," Garcia said.
    "After the operation at the start of December, he'll be able to come back and play with Roma.
    "We need to give him time to recover, but he's a warrior and will come back stronger than ever - 200%. "He's very calm and can't wait to overcome this problem".
