AS Roma coach Eusebio di Francesco insists he has confidence in sports chief Monchi.

Di Francesco has hopes of adding to the squad this month.

He said, “I can say we've improved our last three games, but we've often come back from bad runs and we hope we don't have to again.

“Tomorrow we have the obligation and need to win, and we'll show intent right away because against certain teams with certain mechanisms, everything becomes more difficult.

“I have faith in Monchi, who is looking for opportunities [to bring in players]. I told him that if we have to do something for the sake of it, it's better to do nothing at all.

“If there's an opportunity to improve our squad, then yes, otherwise we'll stay as we are. (Andrea) Belotti? I won't talk about players who don't belong here."
