Roma are back in domestic action tomorrow, as they visit relegation-threatened Crotone.
After qualifying for the Champions League quarter finals in the week with a 1-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk, Roma return to the Serie A stage, intent on maintaining their place in the top four. Crotone - in their second season in Italy's top flight - are in 16th place at the minute, level on points with 18th-placed SPAL. They are coming off the back of a 4-1 win over Sampdoria, in which former Roma player Adrian Stoian scored alongside a Marcello Trotta brace and an Emiliano Viviano own goal. Walter Zenga's side tend to line up in a 4-3-3, and have ex-Roma winger Federico Ricci among their ranks. Roma's squad for the game does not include Diego Perotti, who was exceptional against Shakhtar, due to a minor injury concern. Another of that game's standout performers, Daniele De Rossi, is also out of the squad - as is Gregoire Defrel. Exciting young prospect Mirko Antonucci returns to the squad, along with Primavera player Lorenzo Valeau. The game could present an opportunity, at some stage, for Jonathan Silva to make his Roma debut. The January signing has not yet featured for his new club due to injury. Maxime Gonalons and Stephan El Shaarawy are set to start, having been confirmed by Eusebio Di Francesco in his pre-match press conference. Kick off is at 2pm UK time on Sunday afternoon.
