Sunday, March 30, 2008

Francesco Totti is likely to sit out AS Roma's quarter-final first leg with Manchester United FC after being told he needs "a few days of rest" for a thigh injury.

Vučinić chance
The Roma captain played the whole 90 minutes at Cagliari, cancelling out Matteo Ferrari's own goal with a sumptuous free-kick on the stroke of half-time, yet later complained of a problem in his left thigh. After initial examinations club doctors have prescribed "a few days of rest", meaning he would miss the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final against United at the Stadio Olimpico on Tuesday. The 31-year-old is likely to be replaced by Mirko Vučinić, who came in for the injured Totti for two group stage games in November and scored twice.
