Easter Monday is a perfect time for some Serie A action, as the Italian top tier returns after a short Sunday break for Easter.Fifth-placed Roma – just a step or two away from the Champions League qualification – travel to Lecce to face the strugglers still adjusting to their new coach, Luca Gotti.Roma have thrived under Daniele De Rossi, and the group chemistry seems better than ever.”Sometimes we spend Christmas or Boxing day together, this time it’s Easter, but that doesn’t matter. We really want to get back to playing, and if it means missing a holiday at home, then so be it,” said De Rossi ahead of the Lecce tie. “Now, the points are really worth double, if not triple, especially for the teams near the bottom, so it will be a very tough match.”UEL: The Smart One works much better for Roma than The Special OneDe Rossi also gave an update on some of his injured players, specifically long-term absentee Tammy Abraham and the influential Paulo Dybala, who is a doubt heading into the Lecce match.”We still have a couple of doubts. Tammy (Abraham) won’t be available for this game because he’s working on a very specific timescale and needs to get a third and fourth week of full training under his belt.”Paulo (Dybala) was training quite intensely by himself, yesterday it was without the ball. He joined the team on Sunday, but we took it quite easy. Before the game, we’ll see how he is and whether he can come with us, if he can start or sit on the bench,” explained De Rossi, whose side has been the second-best in the Serie A after his arrival.##NAJAVA_MECA_7992973##A few hours later, league leaders and future scudetto winners Inter Milan await Empoli in what should be as one-sided match as it gets.
