Francesco Totti is included in Roma's squad for the Champions League return match with Manchester United on Tuesday despite struggling for fitness.

The 30-year-old club captain has had sciatic nerves problems but should be able to play against Alex Ferguson's side.

Simone Perrotta will not play at Old Trafford as the World Cup-winner is suspended. David Pizarro, the Peruvian midfielder who was suspended for the first leg, is likely to deputise.

Max Tonetto is still injured and was not named in the 20-man squad.

Roma coach Luciano Spalletti rotated his squad for yesterday's 2-0 win over Catania, a match played on neutral soil at Lecce behind closed doors.

He singled out the form of Montenegrin international Mirko Vucinic who scored against United and Catania.

Spalletti said: "Mirko has done very well for us both today and against Manchester."

Among the likely starters against United who were rested against Catania are Daniele De Rossi, Alessandro Mancini, Cristian Chivu and Christian Panucci.

Roma won the first leg 2-1 in a match marred by crowd trouble in the Eternal City
