Together with the Spaniard, the new acquisitions, Perez and Gomes are also included.

By midnight today, the clubs still in the running in the Europa League will have to submit to UEFA the definitive list of players for the knockout stage. While awaiting official confirmation from Roma, Porto – Roma’s playoff opponent – has already presented the updated list. The coach, Martin Anselmi, has chosen to bring in the former Roma captain, Iván Marcano, alongside fresh recruits Tomás Pérez and William Gomes. They are stepping in for the departed Galeno, Nico González, and Fran Navarro.
