Alberto Aquilani, now at Liverpool, has hit out at Roma’s medical staff over their handling of his various injury concerns during his time at the club.
A youth product of the Giallorossi, Aquilani’s hugely promising career has hung in limbo over the past few seasons due to an inability to reach full fitness.
The midfielder, who is currently recovering from ankle treatment, said in The Daily Mail , “I realise now that the way things were sometimes done in Italy didn’t do me any favours... Read Full Story
Struggling AS Roma should be boosted by the return of captain and talisman Francesco Totti for the visit of Romanians Cluj in the Uefa Champions League on Tuesday. Totti has been badly missed in a disastrous start to the season for the Italian Cup holders, who followed up an opening day 1-1 draw at home to 10-man Napoli by losing 3-1 at Palermo on Saturday. Coach Luciano Spalletti had hoped Totti would be fit for the trip to Sicily, but instead he has had to settle for the mercurial... Read Full Story
ROME (AFP) - AS Roma coach Luciano Spalletti is feeling positive ahead of his team’s clash at home to Sampdoria on Wednesday.
Roma will move up to eighth in the Serie A table if they win this match at Rome’s Stadio Olimpico, which was postponed back in October due to a waterlogged pitch.
The capital based team have finished second in each of the last three seasons but their title aspirations were over just 10 matches into this campaign after they won just two of those, losing six... Read Full Story
ROME (AFP) - AS Roma coach Luciano Spalletti insisted on Monday that his team will play to win in Tuesday’s Champions League clash against Bordeaux at the Stadio Olimpico here.
Roma only need a draw to ensure they progress from Group A to the knock-out stages of Europe’s premier competition but Spalletti says they won’t be going into the game with that mentality.
"If we did something different (than playing to win) it would be a huge mistake," said Spalletti.
"The psychological side... Read Full Story
According to the Corriere dello Sport, Roma are set to propose a swap deal to Barcelona which will see Amantino Mancini and Eric Abidal swap clubs. Brazilian winger Mancini is virtually certain to leave Roma, as he is refusing to sign a renewal to his contract that runs out next year. In order to risk losing the 28-year-old on a free transfer, the Giallorossi will cash in on him this summer. A host of top clubs including Juventus, Inter and Liverpool have all been linked with a move, as have... Read Full Story
AS Roma coach Luciano Spalletti has accused Christian Panucci of 'lacking respect' for the club and his team-mates after the veteran defender refused to take his place on the bench against Napoli at the weekend.

Panucci, who was fined for his actions, later revealed that his coach Spalletti does not respect him... Read Full Story

Totti Double Not Enough For Italians In Kosice
The Italians made life difficult for themselves in Slovakia though. Marco Milinkovic stunned them early on, before Francesco Totti restored parity. Jeremy Menez then struck just after half time before Totti seemed to make the result safe. Roma looked home and dry. However, Novak struck back via the penalty spot and a deflected goal late on to ensure his side escaped with a draw.
The Giallorossi came into the game without Juan, Doni... Read Full Story
