What They're Saying
AS Roma manager Rudi Garcia (via Football Italia): "We're slowly doing everything we can do get the injured players back. We still have the players to be competitive in the league. Kevin [Strootman] is recovering well physically. He started playing in training matches this week."
"He has to regain his confidence after a major injury," he added. "He still doesn't change direction. I think that when he can do that with the ball is when there will be a major injection of confidence in his recovery."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: AS Roma's Daniele De Rossi has served as the defensive bite in the club's midfield this season. In four league appearances, the 31-year-old is averaging two clearances and 3.8 interceptions.
