Di Francesco Reveals Squad Ahead Of Liverpool Clash – Star Defender Returns, Mo Salah Replacement Travels

Roma have arrived in England ahead of the Champions League semi-final first-leg clash against Liverpool at Anfield Stadium on Tuesday.

Giallorossi head coach Eusebio Di Francesco has named a strong traveling squad which sees Aleksandar Kolarov return to the fold.

Kolarov missed the Genoa and SPAL games through injury but has recovered in time for the Reds game.

Di Francesco has also named Turkey international star Cengiz Under.

The 20-year-old was signed as the replacement for Mohamed Salah and has been in impressive form since establishing himself as a first-team regular in February.

Under may be inexperienced in the Champions League, making just three career appearances but he has managed to score the goal that knocked out Shakhtar on away goals in the Last 16 and provide the assist that eliminated Barcelona from the quarter-finals.

Gregoire Defrel is the only major absentee from the traveling squad.

Kostas Manolas was a doubt heading into the last-four match but has also made the cut.

Di Francesco rested Under, Dzeko, De Rossi and Perotti against SPAL on the weekend ahead of the Liverpool trip.

Roma squad list: Alisson, Romagnoli, Skorupski; Luca Pellegrini, Juan Jesus, Kolarov, Capradossi, Fazio, Florenzi, Bruno Peres, Manolas; Nainggolan, Strootman, Lorenzo Pellegrini, De Rossi, Gonalons, Gerson; Perotti, Dzeko, Schick, Under, El Shaarawy
