Roma Coach Luciano Spalletti says he won't use a vast injury list as an excuse if the Giallorossi lose to Juventus.
The Eternal City outfit host the Old Lady tomorrow in a crucial game but they have had to call up youth players to make up the numbers.
Marco Motta, David Pizarro, Souleymane Diamoutene and Daniele De Rossi are suspended, while Francesco Totti, Marco Cassetti, Simone Perrotta, Cicinho, Juan, Rodrigo Taddei and Alberto Aquilani are injured.
“In tough situations you can't cry about the problems, you need to do your best and believe in yourselves,” Spalletti declared.
“Victory will depend on what's in our hearts and we have a team that has shown character before.
“Turning points can arrive during difficult periods like this one and we will have at least 50,000 reasons to fight - our great fans.
“There are no excuses. We must show the spirit we have that has served us so well over the years.
“We can still finish fourth in Serie A as long as we keep daring to believe.”
