Roma, Fonseca: "It's important to finish the season, even in the summer. Zaniolo's recovery is going well."

Roma coach Paulo Fonseca has given his thoughts to Sky Sport on the current issues surrounding the worldwide situation dealing with the coronavirus and the intersection with football, as games have been stopped for weeks with no clear date to resume them: "There are different things to think about. Most of all when to restart the league and when the next season will start. This is crucial to preparing our work, but I think it will take some time to get restarted. Players have never stopped completely and in a few weeks ready to begin again. Right now the health of the public is the most important thing. Only when it's the right time should we start again, but for our part we're willing to play in the summer, it's important to finish the season. I am proud of the club's initiatives, this week with Roma Cares we raised funds and went to help the health system, buying materials that can serve the hospitals. I am happy with the nice words Totti spoke about me, he is a legend and to have the recognition of the work done is important. Honestly I think Pellegrini can be a captain of the future, he has a strong character. We have Dzeko right now, but in the future he has all the qualities to be a leader of the team. I spoke with the doctors and Zaniolo's recovery is proceeding very well. He is recovering well and the signs are positive."
