Roma boss Garcia pleased with Lukasz Skorupski debut

AS Roma coach Rudi Garcia was pleased with Lukasz Skorupski's performance in defeat to Juventus.

Morgan De Sanctis was injured, so Polish 23-year-old goalkeeper Skorupski had his first Serie A start.

"We knew he was very good, but he needs to play so we can see how he handles the pressure," said Garcia.

"Tonight in front of 60,000 people against the Serie A leaders was a tough test and he passed it."
