With the injury emergency continuing, Roma's coach Paulo Fonseca is exploring his options for the midfield, while he waits for the club to sign a reinforcement from the free agents list. For the upcoming clash against Milan, the Portuguese coach revealed that seeing centre-back Mancini in midfield, a role that he also player in Europa League against Borussia Mönchengladbach, could be a concrete possibility: "Yes, he could play there tomorrow - Fonseca said in the pre-match press conference - We don't have many other options in that position. Rodwell and Buchel? I don't want to speak about that now. I am focused solely on the Milan game right now".
Fonseca then discussed his possible choices for the srtarting line-up to face the Rossoneri: "Playing Florenzi in a more offensive role? Right now I am evaluating every possibility, since we have so many players available and especially in that position. Perotti is ready to play, maybe not a full game but he is ready. Pastore has played a lot lately, but we can't afford to rotate the squad at the moment. Mkhitaryan hasn't yet resumed training with the squad. Under will do so today, but probably won't be in the squad tomorrow. He'll be available for the following game.".
