Roma striker Jeremy Menez believes the return of talismanic captain Francesco Totti can help them rediscover their form, starting tomorrow against Bari.
The Giallorossi welcome back Totti for the encounter at the Stadio Olimpico. Totti, who is Roma's top scorer with six goals, has been sidelined since October 4 with a knee injury but has recovered and could see some action against the Galletti. The Giallorossi have been hindered by Totti's absence, with just four points collected in five games without the former Italy international.
The Roma captain has proved to be the biggest nightmare for the Galletti in previous encounters between the two sides, having struck seven times in 10 games against them.
Claudio Ranieri's side sit in 13th place and are six points adrift of fourth-place Fiorentina after holding Serie A leaders Inter Milan to a 1-1 draw before the international break.
Bari will fancy their chances of claiming at least a point at the weekend as they have the best defensive line in the competition with just seven goals conceded in 12 matches. The promoted outfit go into the encounter looking for their second win on the road this season.
The hosts will be without injured duo Juan and Daniele De Rossi.
Bari travel to the Eternal City without striker Vitalj Kutuzov, who is out with an ankle injury but welcome back midfielder Antonio Langella from suspension.
