Roma are set to host SPAL at the Olimpico following their draw against Inter and their qualification in the Europa League. Manager Paulo Fonseca will be without Chris Smalling and Gianluca Mancini, he spoke to the media in the pre match press conference:"SPAL are a good team, they have a tough lineup, the players realize this. Like I said, tomorrow will be a difficult match. Petagna is a strong striker, a good player. Now we don't have many options, even those who didn't do well in Europa League will have to play"
Fonseca addressed the status of some of his individual players:"I believe at this time Pellegrini is more valuable as a trequartista than a midfielder. Under needs to improve many things. Kluivert practiced, but I sense he isn't feeling well, we don't want to risk him at this time. Juan Jesus? He and Cetin are the options, one of them will certainly play".
