Pablo Osvaldo has accepted Zdenek Zeman's decision to drop him for Roma's game against Atalanta, according to the player's representative.

The Italy international was left out of the starting XI on Sunday, but the club's top goalscorer this season will hold no grudge with the Czech Coach says Filippo Fusco.

“I do not see the problem,” he told Vocegiallorossa. “Zeman is the Coach and he makes the decisions. Roma's strikers are all quality.

“Erik Lamela is one of the best young Argentine talents, and Francesco Totti is one of the greatest Italian footballers.

“Zeman has stressed what a quality footballer Pablo is, and we just have to accept the choices of the Coach. Rotation is normal.”

The Giallorossi ran out 2-0 winners against Stefano Colontuano's side – Michael Bradley and Erik Lamela with the goals that took the capital side up to seventh position.
