“We arrived in a bit of an emergency situation, but we want to do well and continue our Europa League journey,” said the Coach in a Press conference.
“We are aware that three points would be a big step towards qualification and it’s therefore a shame to come here without some important players. We know we’re facing a strong side who won their League and want to impress the local fans.
“When HJK came to the Stadio Olimpico, they closed up a lot, but I think tomorrow they’ll be more attacking on home turf. It was unusual in the Europa League to meet a team that didn’t try to play or push at all.”
Cristian Molinaro is returning from injury, but might not be risked “on a synthetic playing surface.”
