Roma will be without influential forward Francesco Totti for their Uefa Cup clash against Villarreal in the Uefa Cup on Thursday.
Giallorossi coach Fabio Capello opted to give the Italy international the day off after deciding he would take no part against the Spanish outfit.

Roma are boosted by the return of Vincenzo Montella against the Yellow Submarines; however they will be without Cristian Chivu, Olivier Dacourt, Vincent Candela and Marco Delvecchio.

Montella has been out of action since November and is happy to be back after fully recovering from his knock last year.

"I'm happy to come back," said Montella. "We respected the recovery time, even if I did hope to come back earlier.

"I hope to play in Spain. My biggest regret is that in such a strong team like Roma, it's a pity not playing, but now I'm finally ready."
