The 31-year-old striker is yet to return to full training and sat out the Giallorossi's 3-2 home win over Genoa in Serie A on Saturday.

Coach Luciano Spalletti, who would have been desperate for his talismanic skipper to return as the Italians seek to overturn a 2-0 deficit, admitted: "I would be happy to have him back next weekend."

Totti has 14 league goals to his name this season and was conspicuous by his absence at the Stadio Olimpico last Tuesday, when United took a giant stride towards a semi-finals thanks to goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney.

Does it really make any difference now? If he will actually play, do you think he will be able to change that 0-2 result? I honestly don't believe he will.
