Roma lost for the second straight league game without Totti, in the 1-0 defeat to Livorno at the Stadio Olimpico.
“Without Totti we struggle,” Ranieri said. “When you are missing a player like Totti, who is a reference point in this team, it’s not easy.”
He added: “We created five chances in front of goal and had Totti been on the pitch, perhaps he would have scored one of them.”
