ROME (Reuters) - AS Roma coach Paulo Fonseca has never seen an injury crisis like the one which has engulfed his side and it makes it impossible to build a team, he said on Wednesday.

Roma's problems increased when Davide Santon was reported to have flu, adding to the eight players already sidelined -- Amadou Diawara, Edin Dzeko, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Cengiz Under, Davide Zappacosta, Bryan Cristante and Nikola Kalinic.
