Totti injury fears grow
Wednesday 2 April, 2008

Francesco Totti will miss Roma’s game against Genoa this weekend and he faces a race to recover for the Manchester United return leg.

The captain was sorely missed in last night’s Champions League quarter-final first leg and has been sidelined on and off for the last month with an ankle injury.

It had been assumed that Er Pupone would return this Saturday for the Giallorossi’s must-win clash against Genoa, but it has now been confirmed that he will miss out.

Totti only managed to undergo a light session away from the rest of the squad today and there are fears that his problem won’t clear before the return game with Manchester United on Wednesday, April 9.

Juan will also miss the test against the Rossoblu, but Simone Perrotta is ready to return and Cicinho and Ludovic Giuly are likely to start.
