Team news: Kluivert replaces injured Perotti in starting XI


Diego Perotti captains Roma for the first time ever, as the Giallorossi kick off 2019 against Virtus Entella in the Coppa Italia on Monday.

Justin Kluivert is a late addition to the starting line-up as the Giallorossi kick off 2019 against Virtus Entella in the Coppa Italia on Monday.

Coach Eusebio Di Francesco has opted to name Patrik Schick in attack, with Rick Karsdorp and Javier Pastore also both getting the nod.

Diego Perotti was originally due to captain the side, but an injury sustained in the warm-up means Kluivert comes in.
