Roma v Chelsea – Probable lineup – Conte receives huge boost in lead up to Roma clash
Roma host Chelsea tonight in the UEFA Champions League at the Stadio Olimpico.
A win will take either side to the top of Group C while a defeat for Roma could see them slip into third spot.
Roma came back from 2-0 down at Stamford Bridge to record a 3-3 draw against Chelsea a fortnight ago. The Serie A giants are unbeaten in Group C so far and recorded a 1-0 win over Bologna over the weekend.
Chelsea meanwhile have won all three of their games since the draw to Roma. Antonio Conte’s side recorded a 1-0 win over Bournemouth in the league on Saturday.
Turkey international winger Cengiz Under has been included in today’s squad but is unlikely to be included in Roma’s starting eleven.
Antonio Conte received a huge boost in the run-up to tonight’s clash with the return of N’golo Kante to first team training. The France international has been sidelined in recent weeks with a hamstring injury.
