Er Pupone made history in midweek when his double in the 4-0 Coppa Italia win over Torino took his career tally of goals for the Giallorossi to 200.However Totti will not be able to set his sights on any more landmarks just yet as he has been struck down by a virus and will be staying at home.
It has been a frustrating season for Totti in this sense as the 31-year-old missed six weeks of the campaign in November and December due to an ankle injury.
Roma are without a number of first-choice players against Catania, as Brazilian defender Juan is injured, while Christian Panucci and Max Tonetto are suspended.
Coach Luciano Spalletti is certain to field Mirko Vucinic as the lone-frontman, likely supported by Rodrigo Taddei, Simone Perrotta and Amantino Mancini.
However Frenchman Ludovic Giuly may force his way into the line-up after some fine recent form.
Catania are in confident mood ahead of tomorrow, following two impressive 1-1 home draws against Juventus and Milan in the last seven days.
