Roma, Fonseca's pre-match press conference: "Kalinić will play tomorrow"

In a weekend where 5 Serie A matches have been postponed for Coronavirus concerns, Roma will play their match as scheduled against Cagliari in Sardegna, where Paulo Fonseca's men will return to action after beating Gent in the Europe League. The coach discussed his group in the pre-match press conference: "The team is tired, we have not recovered 100% from the match with Gent but we are still confident ahead of tomorrow. Perotti may not recover, Veretout is fit. Like against Lecce we'll try to put forth our rhythm and control the match and their movements. The most important thing is not giving away possession easily, or we'll be forced to run to recover it. Pellegrini is also doing better, same with Diawara. He's improving day by day, and if he continues to do so he will be ready next week. Kalinic will play tomorrow, I don't know if he'll partner Dzeko. We're naturally optimistic, so we believe in reaching fourth place. I don't think Atalanta will not drop points until the end of the season so we have to be strong and take advantage of opportunities. Postponments? The authorities are working hard to make the best decision for everyone, the situation is not easy and the who planet is in a delicate moment. There is a problem balancing the sporting concerns, so to avoid all doubts I would have not played the whole round, or if one match is played, all must play, whether in open stadiums or with closed doors."
