Roma claims Francesco Totti is a out of Tuesday's Champions League clash with Man Utd - who have five injury doubts of their own. The Italian striker was seen to be feeling a thigh injury several times during their 1-1 draw with Cagliari in Serie A yesterday, but still managed to complete the 90 minutes. Sir Alex Ferguson will be wary of misinformation coming out of the Italian camp ahead of the first leg at the Stadio Olimpico this week.

Totti will play. Roma is out for revenge, and that scares the hell out of me.

Roma is a good squad but there is a noticable gap in talent between the two sides. Will Roma have an answer for Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez, etc? I doubt it.

Totti isnt gunna play

hes got some muscle problem and they want him to rest this week. Should be back by the weekend, but I doubt he'll play Man U. Huge blow to Roma, who already have the odds against them.

Thats my scouting report on Roma if youd like to take a look.

Roma are actually a pretty underrated squad by most people. They'll defidently put up a fight, but if last year's matchup says much, the only real competition will be in the stands

well, im not very scared because our RESERVES were able to f\draaw against there first team, and were in peak form, plus the second leg is at Old Trafford. Without Totti, it will just increase our chances

man utd is playing very very well

March 30, 2008  06:33 PM ET

Totti is going to want to play

March 30, 2008  06:39 PM ET

Man U is playing well, indeed. However, Roma got embarrassed last year and I'm sure they are motivated beyond belief to destroy Manchester United.

I'm scared. I am really scared.

theyve already had 2 chances

I thought this was a scam when I first heard it. They've been taken apart by united the last 4 times they've played so they're trying to keep fergie guessing. With that said, United are the best team in the world at the moment and it shouldnt matter.

It's not like Roma is impotent without Totti. Vucinic has showed time and again that he's more than capable of filling his boots.
