Rick Karsdorp acknowledges the Derby della Capitale between Roma and Lazio is a ‘special’ fixture that requires more than 100 per cent.
It kicks off at the Stadio Olimpico at 17.00 GMT.
There is only one point separating these teams going into the Derby della Capitale, and whoever wins will either leapfrog Atalanta into third place or catch them on 27 points.
“First of all we have to score one more than Lazio tonight,” Karsdorp told DAZN.
“Of course this game is special, we have to give 120 per cent.”
The wing-back has returned after knee ligament surgery and is in the starting XI on the right flank.
“Physically, it’s never easy to come back after knee surgery. I recovered really fast, that is a good thing, and the team is ready for tonight.”
