Claudio Ranieri breaks the press silence in the run up to the Champions League match against Basel: "De Rossi, Vucinic and Menez are working well, but they are not ready yet. I am hoping to have them ready for the next match, even if only on the bench."

"It will be difficult with Basel. They already beat us last year. We'll exploit their weaknesses".

On Pizarro and Julio Sergio: "David has not trained much, he's been recovering. At the moment Julio is the third keeper, he's almost ready".
