Damn! We'll be out with yet another winger for a while

...I think now the midfield is going to swap around so Aquilani will fit in somewhere.

This is from ch 4:

Quote:

The plans of Roma boss Luciano Spalletti have been hit by an injury to key midfielder Amantino Mancini.

The Brazilian limped out of the side’s 1-0 home defeat to Inter last night and tests have confirmed what was first feared.

The former Venezia man has pulled a muscle in his left thigh and will be out until October 15, with his return pencilled in for the game against Reggina.

The loss of the South American has further complicated the work of Spalletti whose treatment room is filling up.

Brazilian winger Rodrigo Taddei is struggling with an ankle problem, while Francesco Totti is still some way off his best and could be rested for the trip to Parma.

The Giallorossi will also still be without both summer signings Mirko Vucinic and Gilberto Martinez on Sunday.

However, the Serbian striker could return to action at the start of October when the capital side take on Empoli at the Olimpico.

Poor Roma, if it isn't one thing, its another.

Taddei is gone also too..isn't he?

yup. supposedly he'll play against valencia but i doubt it. rosi could always start. although his decision making at times are scary.

the moment he he got injured in the inter game..i knew its going to be 3/4 games wth out him....

I think Rosi will start but Taddei may come on in the second half.

**dukeofdavinci** · 25-09-2006, 03:08 PM

thats possible but if taddei is fully fit he might as well start n depending on the maybe go on to paly f.t but i think its best to rest taddei n opt for rosi as his performence on the parma game was convincing.
