El técnico de la Roma apuesta por Zaniolo.
Paulo Fonseca, entrenador de la Roma, compareció en la previa del partido ante el Sevilla y reconoció que se sienten "muy motivados y en un gran momento".
Como si fuera una final: "Tenemos que estar muy atentos porque solo es un partido y hay que controlar más el balón y tener confianza para poder ganar el partido, pero no hay que perder la cabeza e ir demasiado al ataque".
Dudas en el centro del campo: "El equipo llega muy motivado y en un gran momento. Pellegrini es una opción porque puede jugar o también Tristante, pero vamos a ver mañana. Zaniolo va a jugar mañana porque está listo, y Pellegrini o Cristante también".
Listos y motivados: "No necesito motivar al equipo porque saben que es muy importante. Estamos listos para jugar contra un equipo como el Sevilla".
El primer partido sin Smalling: "Era un jugador muy importante para mí y tenemos que pensar solo en los que están aquí. Ibánez va a jugar en su lugar y confío en él".
Saldrán a por el triunfo: "Yo siempre quiero lo mismo que es ganar y aunque sea a partido único la ambición es la misma que si fuera a doble partido".
Henrikh Mkhitaryan, a estrenarse en Europa
Henrikh Mkhitaryan reconoció que "esta temporada ha sido una de las mejores de mi carrera. Es verdad que no he anotado un gol en la Europa League pero lo más importante no es que marque sino ganar".
El recuerdo de la final del año pasado: "Fue una lástima no poder jugar la final con el Arsenal pero eso ya pasó y no quiero volver a revivirlo porque me duele. Yo siempre juego para ganar y no será fácil, pero el equipo está listo para este partido. Mi victoria será la del equipo".
Su posición en el campo le agrada: "Yo hago todo por ayudar a mis compañeros y para mí es más fácil jugar más cerca de Dzeko cerca de la portería rival".
