Roma coach Enrique keeps faith with hot-head Lamela

AS Roma coach Luis Enrique has faith in midfielder Erik Lamela.

Lamela was criticised in their Coppa defeat to Juventus after his red card for kicking out at Giorgio Chiellini.

"Lamela knows he made a mistake, but if it can happen to a 35-year-old player, then it certainly can to a 19-year-old.

"Daniele De Rossi might not even be ready for the next match, as the most important thing is to have him recovered and ready for the rest of the season."
