The Italian coach will play the forward again as Francesco Totti has been ruled out of the game with the flu bug that has been sweeping through the club's squad.Vucinic is nervous about appearing again as he wants to improve and Spalletti even tried joking with him about the whole saga to take his mind off it.
“I joked with him about Wednesday’s performance, but he is not relaxed,” confessed Spalletti.
“A fortnight ago people wanted to force me to play him alongside Totti, now he is jeered. Vucinic is a great player and he just needs time to hit form."
Spalletti then explained that an award to honour Totti's 200 official goals for the club was due to be presented to him on Sunday, but he will not be around.
“We can only compliment Totti for the contribution he has given to this side. Unfortunately he won’t be able to play, but we have won without him and will do so again," the trainer explained.
“The flu has gone through the locker room, some got it early and some later on.
“Rodrigo Taddei had the symptoms on Friday and is only able to do light training, while Simone Perrotta is starting to develop them. Matteo Ferrari is alright and could train normally.”
