Spalletti takes captain’s armband off De Rossi, but it could be the player’s decision
De Rossi was shown the red card in AS Roma’s 3-0 defeat against Porto last week, which cost AS Roma che Champions League group stage qualification.
Calciomercato.com, however, has exclusively learned that it could have been De Rossi’s decision not to wear the captain’s armband due to the red card he awkwardly picked up earlier this week.
Spalletti will definitely give an explanation to this choice at the end of the game.
