What They're Saying
Roma manager Rudi Garcia (via UEFA): "We want to go on in the competition. We will do everything we possibly can to get to the quarterfinals. We have to concentrate on this match because the UEFA Europa League is a very important aspect to our season. I hope the fans will support us because without them everything is harder."
Fiorentina manager Vincenzo Montella: "Fiorentina are ready for what will be a very important match. Mario Gomez trained fully and is definitely available.

This is a difficult time for Roma, but they have a lot of fantastic players."
