Ahead of this afternoon’s derby clash at the Stadio Olimpico, Roma Director General Mauro Baldissoni has been talking to Premium Sport. He was asked if the giallorossi were still Juve’s biggest challengers to which he replied; “We must just concentrate on our game and not be too concerned about what is happening elsewhere. We have a strong squad and we need the continuity”.
 

Asked of the club would be making a move in January to substitute striker Mo Salah, who is representing Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations. Baldissoni stated that; “We have reinforcements in the squad already, look at our bench today we have Totti, Iturbe and El-Shaarawy. The options are already there but in case of anything becoming available, we will naturally consider it”.  

Roma face a tough program before the Christmas break; after today they entertain Milan next Monday before a trip to Turin to face Juventus.
