Roma coach Claudio Ranieri admits he'd like to withdraw Mirko Vucinic out of the firing line.

The young striker has been barracked relentlessly by Roma fans this season for his poor form in front of goal.

Ranieri admitted: "I would've rested him if I had four strikers at my disposal, but seeing as I don't, I have to play him. Julio Baptista is not fit for 90 minutes and Stefano Okaka is very young. Vucinic is better."
