“You always need balance, something will certainly be lacking because the players have had three matches in just six days – you can’t keep that up. We’ll do all we can to get three points and I don’t want to give Leonardo Semplici any advantage ahead of Saturday,” Di Francesco said after the game.
The Roma boss is expected to make changes against SPAL on the weekend but cannot afford to totally ignore the game as a top-four spot is not yet guaranteed.
The Rome based outfit passed their first test beating Genoa 2-1 on Wednesday.
Di Francesco will have a fit Cengiz Under after he made his first start in four games against Genoa.
Under returned in emphatic fashion, scoring his seventh goal of the season in the process.
Additionally, Gerson, Pellegrini, Gonalons, and Juan Jesus were drafted in on Wednesday as part of the manager’s rotation.
