Roma vs Man United: Totti a doubt for hosts

Roma skipper Francesco Totti is a major doubt for the first leg of his side's Champions League quarter-final clash against Manchester United, his club confirmed Sunday. The talismanic striker, who scored the equaliser with a stunning free-kick in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Cagliari, suffered a thigh injury during the game and is not expected to recover in time for Tuesday's tie.

Roma coach Luciano Spalletti was forced to play Totti at Cagliari despite the striker struggling with a right knee injury as midfielders Daniele De Rossi and Simone Perrotta and forward Mirko Vucinic were all serving one-match bans.Totti is the Giallorossi's top scorer with 14 goals this season.
