Roma welcome Inter to the capital for the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final on Wednesday, as both sides will be looking to gain an advantage heading into the return match at San Siro on April 17.
Giallorossi coach Zdenek Zeman will be without Miralem Pjanic and Rodrigo Taddei through suspension. Federico Balzaretti and Pablo Osvaldo hope to start, but remain slight doubts after they missed training to undergo physiotherapy following the weekend's excursions.
Daniele De Rossi is set to undergo tests on Tuesday after picking up a muscle injury during Sunday’s encounter, and looks set to miss out.
Antonio Cassano remains a doubt for the visitors, who will also be without Dejan Stankovic and Walter Samuel. Andrea Stramaccioni can expect to call on Ricardo Alvarez, however, after the Argentine travelled to Rome to meet up with his team-mates on Monday, but he will probably have to make do with a seat on the bench.
Up front, veteran Tommaso Rocchi is tipped to get the nod over Marko Livaja and take his place alongside Rodrigo Palacio.
