Di Francesco reveals 3 players who could miss Roma's Porto clash

Roma manager Eusebio di Francesco has confirmed that Robin Olsen and Patrik Schick are likely to miss the giallorossi's UEFA Champions League clash against Porto in the first leg of the Round of 16.

The men from the Italian capital were handed a trick group, but they came away to finish second behind Real Madrid, who face Ajax in their tie in the Round of 16 of the Champions League.

With Roma set to play Porto at the Stadio Olimpico, Di Francesco was talking to the press ahead of the game against the Portuguese giants, who finished first in their group.

The manager gave injury updates. He said: "Manolas will recover, Olsen in doubt until tomorrow morning. We lost Schick because of a muscle injury. The others will not be back tomorrow: I'm talking about Perotti in particular way."

He also confirmed that Schick will not be available for the side's upcoming Serie A game against Bologna. He said:  Honestly, I think of Porto, I do not know if it will be with Bologna. Schick will be hardly available."
