After getting an important draw last week against Inter at the Olimpico, Roma get ready to face Cagliari, despite being decimated by injuries. Giallorossi's coach Eusebio Di Francesco revealed in fact that another player could join the already long list of player sidelined due to physical issues. "Manolas picked up a knock in training. He will be in the squad list for the game against Cagliari, but he is a doubt, we don't know if he will be fit to play. He picked up a nasty knock but we hope he can recover shortly", said the coach in the pre-match press conference.
"Why we suffer so many injuries? It's a bit of everything, also human mistakes. It can happen. With Pellegrini, for example, we sped up his recovery process to have him back as soon as possible, but that can cause problems. We want to recover all the injured players", continued the former Sassuolo boss, who was also asked about Saturday's line-up: "Florenzi will play as full-back, while Fazio has recovered [from the injury that kept him out of Inter game]. Pastore and Perotti won't start, but the former will get some more playing time tomorrow. Marcano trained very well and could also start".
