Radja Nainggolan and Lorenzo Pellegrini have passed fitness tests to travel to Barcelona for Roma‘s Champions League quarter-final, first leg, but Cengiz Under will stay in Italy.
Belgian midfielder Nainggolan pulled a right thigh muscle in Saturday’s 1-1 Serie A draw against Bologna while Italy midfielder Pellegrini took a knock to his calf while on international duty.
Coach Eusebio Di Francesco included the pair among the 21-man squad to travel to Spain after putting the players through their paces in training on Monday.
Under is carrying a left thigh injury picked up on international duty with Turkey and was not deemed fit enough and will remain in the Italian capital.
The Giallorossi are playing their first Champions League quarter-final since falling in the last eight in successive seasons to Manchester United in 2007 and 2008.
The Romans lost their only final appearance to Liverpool in 1984.
