Roma Coach Eusebio Di Francesco assures there are alternatives to Javier Pastore, and will play “either 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3” against Viktoria Plzen.
The Giallorossi face the Czech champions tonight in their second Champions League group fixture, but will be without one of their big summer signings.
“We play either 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3,” Di Francesco pointed out in an interview with Roma TV.
“Pastore is a classic trequartista, but [Bryan] Cristante, [Lorenzo] Pellegrini, [Ante] Coric and [Nicolo] Zaniolo can also play that role.

“We’ll decide what to do based on the match, and I’ll evaluate who will play.
“We already saw Lorenzo in that role against Sassuolo, I told him that it’s important to get himself into the last 20 metres because he has that ability.
“I’ve already told him he could be in place of Pastore.”
