Roma likely line up for CSKA game: De Rossi available, Kolarov on the bench
Just when they seemed to have put the shaky start behind them, Roma suffered a significant defeat at home against SPAL and now they get ready for a very important match in the Champions League against CSKA Moscow. The Russian side is currently leading the group ahead of Real Madrid and the Giallorossi, who 'need character and a good attitude' to win this game, according to their coach Di Francesco. Speaking of character, Roma's captain Daniele De Rossi has recovered from the injury that kept him out of the game against SPAL and will start in midfield, while Kolarov has been deemed not fully fit yet and will sit on the bench.
Upfront Dzeko will lead the attacks ahead of Schick - who is available again after being left out of the squad on Saturday with an injury - with Under on the right wing while El Shaarawy and Kluivert are battling for the last spot on the left side.
Roma (4-2-3-1): Olsen, Florenzi, Manolas, Fazio, Santon, De Rossi, Nzonzi, Under, Pellegrini, El Shaarawy, Dzeko
