Roma is ready to take on Brescia and bounce back from a loss against Parma. Manager Paulo Fonseca spoke to the press prior to the match.
"It will be a difficult match, they changed managers. I saw Brescia against Napoli and Inter. It's a team that plays well. Tomorrow a difficult match awaits us."
On Mancini: "He's a central defender and will return to play in this position. It's a normal thing. Dzeko? I am sure that he'll get back to scoring goals in the next matches, I have no doubt about that. I am not thinking of any alternative. Dzeko will play tomorrow as normal. Under? He's doing well and is ready to play."
On VAR: "After two meetings in which I participated, I better understood the function of VAR. I say that it's not easy. I can be in agreement or not, but these are the rules. And the referees must apply them. It's normal that I'm not in agreement with all the situations."
On Florenzi possibly starting: "We'll see tomorrow. A player being with their national team doesn't change my decision. When I want to play a player, I decide it in my head and if tomorrow I feel like Florenzi must play, he will. He's always worked at his best and he's very professional. Spinazzola is not ready, he began to play two days ago. Mkhitaryan and Pellegrini? Mkhitaryan is recovering, he worked with us three days this week. But he's not ready for this match. He and Spinazzola may be ready for the next match. Pellegrini is ready to play."

Defenders: Juan Jesus, Smalling, Kolarov, Cetin, Santon, Fazio, Mancini, Florenzi
