Baptista ready for Basel clash

Baptista is desperate to feature in the game for Roma.

“I am ready to play, I’m in a good condition. If [coach Claudio] Ranieri asks me to step onto the field, I will be ready.” the 27-year-old smiled to LaRoma24.it.

“I didn’t play well in Siena because of tiredness accumulated on international duty with my national team.

“We really care about the Europa League and want to go all the way. In short, we want to fully honour the competition. Tomorrow’s match will be important and we must not underestimate it.”
