Roma president Rosella Sensi has ordered her players into 'ritiro' after last night's dismal defeat to high-flying Udinese.

"The team will go into a ritiro today to prove its love for the Roma jersey and respect towards our fans," said Sensi, with the players to be away from their families until Wednesday's clash with Sampdoria.

"We have no alibi, but certain huge errors are damaging Roma and especially lacking in respect for our fans.

"I am sorry to say this, as it is not in my nature, but the penalty awarded to Udinese and the booking given to Mirko Vucinic for simulation left me stunned by the lack of professionalism on show.

"All this reminds me of moments when my father found himself in the same situation."
