De Rossi To Miss CL Opener
Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi will miss the club's opening Champions League encounter with CFR Cluj on Tuesday…


The Giallorossi continue to receive more bad news as it has been revealed that Daniele De Rossi will be out of the Champions League match with CFR Cluj at the Stadio Olimpico on Tuesday.
Roma lost their Serie A match to Palermo 3-1 on Saturday and also lost their midfield general after he had to be substituted during the match at the Stadio Renzo Barbera.
De Rossi jumped up to head the ball, but asked to be subbed immediately after and it was later revealed he had pulled a muscle in his neck, although club doctors are hoping the midfielder will be available next weekend for the Serie A tie with Reggina.
Roma are already without Philippe Mexes and Juan in defence and De Rossi's presence in front of the back four would have eased the nerves of the Roma fans. The 25 year old himself has been in fine form, scoring two goals for Italy on Wednesday in a World Cup qualifier against Georgia.
Roma have had a poor start to the season. After losing the Italian Supercoppa to Inter on penalties, the Giallorossi have only picked up one point in Serie A, after they started their Serie A season drawing Napoli 1-1 at the Olimpico.
If there is any form of good news for the club, it is that captain Francesco Totti could be ready for Tuesday's encounter with Cluj, but that is not yet a certainty.
