While Valencia have already qualified for the knockout stage, Totti's Giallorossi still require one more point to guarantee that they will join Los Che i the draw for the Round of 32.

“Totti will not be part of the squad because he hurt his ankle on Saturday, but I am confident he can recover in time for the [Roman] derby with Lazio next weekend,” said Giallorossi coach Luciano Spalletti.

“I also have doubts over Simone Perrotta, I hope he will be able to play but I cannot guarantee this will be the case. If he does not recover, I have several alternatives.

“Both Vincenzo Montella and Mirko Vucinic are feeling well, although it is normal for them to not be at their best seeing as they are not playing with continuity,” added Spalletti.

If it is any consolation to Roma fans, Valencia are also somewhat depleted for Tuesday's showdown. They travel to the Italian capital with a squad of only 18 players, which includes a number of youngsters.

“This is not an easy moment for us, but tomorrow’s match will give us the chance to field our younger players and show our value,” said Amedeo Carboni, Valencia’s sporting director.

“Fernando Morientes and David Villa are both out, so the only striker available is Francesco Tavano and then we have four young forwards, all 21-year-olds.

“I am glad to be in Roma, where I played for seven years and I also wore the captain’s armband.

“I am very relaxed, since we are already qualified and we can play without worrying about having to win at all costs,” added Carboni.
