“I have to take the conditions into account, as it will be a very physical game and the Bentegodi pitch is terrible. I don't really have physically imposing players, but I cannot change our characteristics for one match.”

There are even concerns over Javier Pastore's fitness levels, leaving Massimo Maccarone as the only reliable striker.
