Brazilian defender Juan insists there's no need to panic at Roma.

"We started the season badly," Juan admitted on Sport TV. "But we have all the time we need to turn things around, starting with Sunday's game against Inter.

"We have a very strong squad, a united group and a great Coach. I am just desperate to get back out there to repay all the affection I have received from the people."

Juan has been hampered by injury problems at the start of the campaign, but he seems to be back to full fitness.

"I have been out for a month with an injury I picked up during my last national call-up but I played a few minutes in the last game before the break and I can't wait to get started again," he said.
