Totti has Old Trafford hope
Friday 4 April, 2008

While Juan is fit to face Genoa, Francesco Totti hopes he can recover in time for the second leg at Old Trafford.

Both players missed the 2-0 home defeat in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Manchester United on Tuesday along with the suspended Simone Perrotta.

Brazilian defender Juan has recovered quicker than expected and is in the Roma squad set to take on Genoa on Saturday.

Totti has been struggling with a thigh strain, but was asked today whether he would be ready for next week’s clash.

“I don’t know. I hope to make it,” the captain told fans waiting outside the Trigoria training ground.

There is no chance of seeing Matteo Ferrari at Old Trafford, as he underwent surgery to clean up a left knee injury today and will be out for at least a month.

Roma squad: Antunes, Aquilani, Brighi, Cassetti, Cicinho, Curci, De Rossi, Doni, Esposito, Giuly, Juan, Julio Sergio, Mancini, Mexes, Panucci, Perrotta, Taddei, Tonetto, Vucinic.
