Enrique excited by Udinese test

Roma coach Luis Enrique is demanding a determined effort from his players when they meet Udinese in the Serie A on Friday.

The Spaniard said he expects a tough test against Francesco Guidolin’s men who are fourth in the table.

“I am curious to see how we play against Udinese as they are a team doing really well, but I also want to see the hunger we have always had,” Luis Enrique told reporters.

“I am expecting a fascinating game and to do well we have to attack them for 90 minutes.”

“However, we have to be very careful as they are lethal on the break.”

Francesco Totti is doubtful for the game after suffering a knock to his ankle in training, but Enrique stressed his side must cope with losing players to injury.

“I don’t know how Totti is feeling, but these things happen and we must get used to them,” Enrique said.

Roma travel to Stadio Communale Friuli seeking to reduce the four-point gap between them and Udinese in the league standings.
